Well yeah. After parents flipped out, they paused the plan to review what the governor of NJ called inappropriate content. So was the governor lying to us? |
YES THEY ARE. THEY ARE LISTED ON nj.gov as a RESOURCE for STUDENT EDUCATION. Specifically in support of the new lesson plan. https://www.nj.gov/education/standards/chp/index.shtml#standard2.1

Lying about what? |
THEY ARE UPDATING THE CURRICULUM NOW. CHANGES DON’T ROLL OUT UNTIL FALL 2022. |

I know some of you struggle with reading comprehension but give this a try:
https://newjerseymonitor.com/2022/04/14/parents-grapple-with-new-sex-education-standards-but-many-support-it/ New Jersey’s updated sex education standards, set to be rolled out in schools in the fall Parents who don’t want their children to learn about certain topics or sex education can opt out, the Department of Education said in a statement. A spokesman said the department does not mandate curriculum, and local school districts create their own lesson plans. |

For second graders, the new standards mean teachers discussing gnder role stereotypes and how people can express how they feel. By the end of fifth grade, students should be able to differentiate between sxual orientation and gnder identity. And by eighth grade, teachers should be developing a plan to promote dignity and respect for all gnder expressions, and students should know the difference between gnders, gnder identity, and sxual orientation. In 12th grade, students will learn about birth control options, diseases, and consent.
The vast majority of parents support quality, inclusive sx education. I think some folks are stirring this up for political advantage and are not being truthful in what they’re saying |
Was he lying when he said some of the content is inappropriate? |

Here is what he said:
[i]“At a time when we must prioritize student mental health and academic recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is paramount that our standards also promote inclusivity and respect for every child, including LGBTQ youth,” Murphy wrote Thursday in a statement. “In New Jersey, parents always have and always will have a say in their child’s education, which includes opting their child out of any health lesson that they would rather discuss in the privacy of their own home.” “Unfortunately, our learning standards have been intentionally misrepresented by some politicians seeking to divide and score political points,” Murphy continued, echoing comments made earlier this week. “At the same time, we have seen a handful of sample lesson plans being circulated that have not been adopted in our school districts and do not accurately reflect the spirit of the standards. Any proposed educational content that is not age-appropriate should be immediately revised by local officials.” [u] He said no school districts have adopted those lesson plans. And he said they “don’t reflect the spirit of the standards”. So - like he said - misrepresented. |
Why is gender spelled without an “e”? |
It was getting blocked. Not sure why. You could ask Jeff. |
|
It’s in a video specifically linked on the nj.gov education resource website for educational standards. What age/grade level do you think is appropriate to learn about “flicking the bean” in school? |
He said the lesson plans dont reflect the standards. In other words, they are not going to be implemented because they were beyond what was authorized. |
Upper HS. |
We will find out. Hopefully no RWNJs died of hysteria during this manufactured issue. |
Mid terms is going to be lit. |
