New Jersey has become the second state in the nation after California to adopt a law that requires schools to teach about LGBT history in a move hailed by civil rights groups as a step toward inclusion and fairness.
Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat who promised to promote equality for gay and transgender people during his campaign, signed the bill Thursday. Among those celebrating the news was Jaime Bruesehoff, of Vernon, whose 12-year-old transgender child Rebekah spoke in support of the bill in Trenton in December.
“This bill is so important for our young people,” Bruesehoff said. “They need to see examples of themselves in the history being taught and in classes they are going to each day. We know representation matters.”
Conservative organizations have opposed proposals to teach gay and transgender history, saying such requirements take away power from parents and may encourage kids to question their sexuality.
Len Deo, president of the New Jersey Family Policy Council, said he opposed the bill because it infringed on parents’ rights.
New Jersey already has what many education experts consider the strongest anti-bullying law in the country.

Pretty much.
The State of New Jersey has been in a death spiral for the last 75 years. This just adds a little more speed. (Along with the $15 minimum wage.)
Racing to Sodom
"Surely ye won't die" The phrase that started it all.
In the 60’s we pummeled these freaks. Today, under Law, we are required to lick the freaks boot.
The left is always on the move, advancing their agenda.
The right is always......reacting to it.
What about left handed person history? There are more of us, we are also put upon and mocked, we lack our historical “voice”, and it would be just as utterly irrelevant.
(Gay presidents: 0 / left handed Presidents: I dont know, but more than 0)
The only thing left for young parents is to move out of NJ...which is a pretty good idea given the taxes and corruption. My conservative USMC nephew has an opportunity to move there with his company. I encourage him to look at what’s going on in that state.
Nice to know they’re teaching all the other subjects with great success.
Such a blessing to the epidemiological community.
not to mention, "Brunch"!
“Free” daycare.
Obviously not to teach history. Obviously to indoctrinate and make the kids want to become one of the letters in LGBTQXYZABC.
Huh? There’s such a thing as homo history?
How did the LGBTQ movement get AIDS?
At this point there isn’t enough brimstone in the entire world to burn out the evil.

And, *there* is where you lost the ‘debate’: accepting the opposition’s presumptions.
When the right go from, “It can’t happen HERE” to “How did this HAPPEN?”....
I’d contend the Right doesn’t learn from History. The Left keep doing what’s WORKED in the past...Even given the numerous examples, the Right has only been able to, at *best*, SLOW them down, yet, never stop.
You've forgotten Obama already? He's both gay and left handed.

Parents statewide should be demanding to be informed when these “history” lessons will occur.And when they occur parents should be allowed to withdraw their kids from such classes with *no* negative consequences for the child.

Well, I see the problem right there: asking GOVT for ‘permission’
My, how the thought of a Free people have fallen w/i the (R)N(C)
Don’t forget Leopold and Loeb, Jeffrey Dahmer and some other facts to consider:
Fake news gives birth to fake irrelevant history
