Fifth-graders in New Jersey could be taught that puberty blockers are an acceptable way to 'manage' adolescence and masturbating 'a few times a day' is a healthy way to relieve stress.
The new sample lesson plans, some of which are accompanied by animated videos, are part of a broader, K-12 health and sex education curriculum adopted by the New Jersey Board of Education. The plans, which were first reported by Fox News, are now being reviewed by individual school districts in the state.
In one proposed lesson plan aimed at fifth graders entitled 'It's All about the Hormones,' students are instructed to watch a video containing animation called 'Puberty and Transgender Youth.'
'Whether you identify as male, female, gender queer or something else, you're perfectly normal, and there are lots of ways to manage puberty so that it can be a fun, exciting time rather than a scary or stressful one,' the video states.
'If you feel you want more time to explore how you feel about your gender before your body starts to change, it's important to talk with a parent, counselor, therapist or doctor about the feelings you have regarding your gender,' the video details.
'After some discussion and counseling, you may be referred to an endocrinologist. Endocrinologists specialize in hormones, and they're the most likely to prescribe puberty blockers for someone who wants them. Puberty blockers are medications that will stop your body from changing.'
One Republican lawmaker, State Senator Holly Schepisi, was not impressed with the lesson plans declaring them to be 'completely overboard with cringy detail for young kids.'
'I truly think New Jersey has lost its damn mind,' she wrote.

South Jersey here. Funny how when Murphy was running for Governor last year this never came up. ..and he just won by a whisker. Saw an interview with him yesterday afternoon and he looked like he was scared of the peoples reaction to it even hinted if there were parts the public opposed he would be WILLING to consider changes. How big of him.
