John,
We are proud to announce that PJI has filed a motion to intervene in the New Jersey Attorney General’s complaint against the Hanover Board of Education. The Hanover Board of Education instituted a new policy to notify parents of issues of concern involving their children, but New Jersey AG, Matt Plotkin is attempting to block these parental notifications in violation of established parental rights.
PJI New Jersey Attorney, Karyn White, stated, “For Attorney General Matt Platkin to tell school boards to keep parents in the dark, lie to parents, and view parents as the problem is grossly irresponsible and a serious violation of parental rights. I believe the Attorney General is insincere when he claims that telling parents the gender identity of their children violates the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination. That law was never intended to hide important medical information about a young child from their parents. It is a very distorted and warped application of the law to say that it does.”
We have partnered in this motion with the New Jersey Family Policy Center– a pro-family organization that protects the freedom of parents to speak and act according to their faith.
The New Jersey Family Policy Center wrote, “The Attorney General’s attempt to force school districts to keep a secret shadow medical file on children inaccessible to their parents is a serious violation of parental rights. Parents must be included in all matters involving their children’s mental health and social and emotional well-being. That is the only way to keep them safe. We urge him to honor the roles and responsibilities of parents in raising their children.”
We’ll keep you informed on the status of this very important parental rights case.
