Parents’ rights groups and their Republican allies have won some key education battles recently over leftist lessons in U.S. classrooms, but with the start of a new school year, defenders of transgender rights, critical race theory and LGBTQ curricula are regrouping for Round 2.
Across the county, high-profile Democrats are racing to reinforce woke activists, left-leaning school district administrators and liberal teachers in what is shaping up as another academic year of skirmishes with conservative students and their parents.
School hasn’t even started in New Jersey, and yet parents held a protest last week outside the courthouse where the judge slapped the injunction on parental notification rules passed in June by the Middletown, Marlboro and Manalapan-Englishtown school boards. “The Attorney General is taking a premature victory lap before this case was actually decided,” said Jacqueline Tobacco, board vice president. “The State’s position is preventing some of the most vulnerable students from receiving the support they need from parents and mental health counselors and eroding trust between parents and our district.”
On the other side are voters. A CRC Research poll conducted in March for Parents Defending Education showed 74% of registered voters “believe schools should not help students change their gender identity without parental consent.” The result has been a clash with Northern Virginia school boards refusing to change their policies. Mr. Youngkin’s office issued a statement last week saying the Fairfax County School Board is expected to “follow the law.”
“Chino Valley Unified’s forced outing policy threatens the safety and well-being of LGBTQ+ students vulnerable to harassment and potential abuse from peers and family members unaccepting of their gender identity,” said Mr. Bonta in an Aug. 4 statement.
