ARNEGAT TOWNSHIP, New Jersey, October 29, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The mayor of a New Jersey township is holding firm against negative reactions to his forceful denunciation of a state law mandating that “LGBT history” be taught in public schools.
Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy signed Senate Bill 1569 in January, requiring school boards to develop lessons about the “political, economic, and social contributions of persons with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people” throughout history.
During an August committee meeting for Barnegat Township, Republican Mayor Alfonso Cirulli assailed the LGBT agenda as “an affront to almighty God” and declared that “now is the time for the righteous to stand up for their rights” before the school district implements a new curriculum in line with the new mandate.
"The government has no right to teach our kids morality," he said, arguing that "we've crossed over the line into absurdity” in overriding parents’ right to decide when and how to introduce children to such sensitive subjects.
“Everyone has a right to live his or her life the way they want to, but no group has a right to force others to comply with their beliefs,” added Cirulli, who is a former assistant principal.
"It is deeply troubling that Barnegat's mayor is opposed to building an inclusive and affirming environment for LGBTQ youth, especially considering that Garden State Equality worked so closely with the school district to successfully implement transgender student guidance last year,” the LGBT activist group Garden State Equality responded. “Moreover, the mayor's views are in stark contrast to educators within the district, two of whom are contributing to our curriculum development."

he can call his city a sanity sanctuary.
“It is deeply troubling that Garden State Equality is opposed to building an inclusive and affirming environment for Christian and heterosexual youth, especially considering that our country was founded on the Judeo-Christian model and successfully implemented a free society over most of our country’s history,” the Free Republic activist responded.
God is not mocked. Vengeance is His. He will repay.
Garden State Equality would do well to heed God’s words.
“............requiring school boards to develop lessons about the “political, economic, and social contributions of persons with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people” throughout history.”
“....persons with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people....”
So people with disabilities are in the same mix as LGBT people!? Really!?
Well, actually, I only feel admiration for the mayor of Barnegat...and a tinge of envy for his constituents.
Outstanding!!! And probably a fatal blow for any political ambitions he might have.
1 Samuel 2:30
“”Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.””
The Mayor has made a wise choice.
Soon to be in a re-education camp. They’re coming.

It is an affront to God Almighty. Nothing to apologize FOR.
Such intolerance is absolutely unacceptable in any way, shape or form. He needs to die in agonizing pain and misery. That will teach him some tolerance.
I wish people would not repeat this stupidity!!! The government ABSOLUTELY has the right to teach morality! Our laws are based upon morality!! You cannot teach a lesson on US government without teaching morality! You know... do not murder... do not steal... do not bear false witness.. ALL of these are moral codes that hold our society together. They need to be a foundation for teaching children in school!
About time someone stands up to the Q mafia.
and a democrat, too !
What is “LGBT history”? A serious question. Other than Classical Greece and Rome to about 500AD there is no connected chronological narrative to incorporate gay history. This is akin to mandating ‘History of Ugly People’.Even historical figures such as Marshal Hubert Lyautey who were quite openly gay did not make ‘queerness’ the central factor of their identity. Rather , in this case it was Lyautey’s formidable military and political savvy that were his outstanding characteristics. So what is ‘LGBTQ History’?
It’s only to counter all of the “straight” history classes we always had in NJ. DUH.
There’s a difference between what the current Pope calls a sin against nature and what I call a sin against nature’s God.
Sins against nature include sodomy, incest, bestiality, etc; not turning on the A.C. or driving an automobile.
Yeah I don’t worry too much about how the bees and trees will judge me in the next world, because I cut down a few saplings or burned a tire.
