The bill prohibits schools from teaching courses on sex and gender identity for students in grades K-6. It also requires students in grades 7-12 to obtain parents\u2019 permission before receiving instruction on such topics.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/pub.njleg.state.nj.us\/Bills\/2022\/S3000\/2648_I1.PDF\">text of the bill<\/a> reads in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>A<\/em> <em>school district shall not include, as part of a course of instruction, information on sexual orientation or gender identity for students in grades kindergarten through six as part of the school district\u2019s implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning\u00a0Standards.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A school district shall not provide instruction for students in grades seven through 12 that includes information on sexual orientation or gender identity without receiving prior written consent from the student\u2019s parent or guardian. Any student whose parent or guardian does not provide prior written consent shall be excused from that portion of the course where such instruction is provided and no penalties as to credit or graduation shall result\u00a0therefrom.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The bill further states that if a student receives instruction on sex and gender in violation of the bill, their parents or guardians can bring civil action against the school district. Additionally, if a school district or a district employee, such as a teacher, violates the law, the bill empowers the New Jersey Attorney General to seek an injunction against either.<\/p>\n<p>The bill also empowers the New Jersey Commissioner of Education to withhold state funding from a district that violates the bill, until such time as the commissioner finds that the district is no longer in violation. If passed and signed into law, the bill would take effect in the first full school year after signing.<\/p>\n<p>Durr announced that he would be proposing the law in April. \u201cI highly doubt that New Jersey parents would want their children to learn about gender identity and sexual orientation in elementary school,\u201d he said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senatenj.com\/index.php\/durr\/durr-to-introduce-bill-prohibiting-classroom-instruction-on-sexual-orientation-gender-identity-from-kindergarten-through-sixth-grade\/57068\">statement<\/a> at the time. \u201cThe new curriculum being foisted on us by the Murphy Administration is not only absurd and unnecessary, but it is incredibly insulting to every parent in the state. My legislation will reverse the implementation of these new sex education standards and allow parents to determine <em>if<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>when<\/em>\u00a0such curriculum should be offered to their children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have heard from countless parents throughout South Jersey who have expressed anger and frustration in response to this new curriculum. They genuinely feel that their parental rights are being ignored by the Murphy Administration\u2014something that is difficult to dispute,\u201d Durr added. \u201cGender identity and sexual orientation are complicated subjects and I don\u2019t think you will find a rational person in this country that thinks teaching such subjects to first- and second-grade students is a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Durr also co-sponsored two bills authored by fellow Republican State Senators Joe Pennacchio and Mike Testa earlier this year: one would <a href=\"https:\/\/pub.njleg.state.nj.us\/Bills\/2022\/S1000\/598_I1.PDF\">prohibit<\/a> New Jersey schools from teaching Critical Race Theory; the other would <a href=\"https:\/\/pub.njleg.state.nj.us\/Bills\/2022\/S2500\/2385_I1.PDF\">remove the requirement<\/a> to teach diversity and inclusion classes in grades K-8, classes which would be introduced beginning in the 2022-23 school year. None of the three bills are likely to pass in New Jersey\u2019s Democratic State Legislature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Republican state senator introduced a parents\u2019 rights bill in New Jersey Monday.New Jersey State Senator Edward Durr introduced Senate Bill 2648 into the legislative record on Monday.
