New Jersey school districts could face disciplinary actions if they refuse to implement New Jersey's new sex education standards, state officials said amid pushback from some school boards and county governments.
The new guidelines, which were adopted two years ago but are only taking effect now after a pandemic delay, have sparked outrage from some parents who believe the topics covered are not age appropriate for students.
State officials also reiterated that any parent who does not their child to participate must write a letter to the principal explaining that the instruction conflicts with their conscience or sincerely held moral or religious beliefs. Garwood's school district is one of several that have opted out of those lessons, saying the specific terminology is inappropriate and unnecessary., and further details about what any disciplinary action would entail have not been elaborated upon.
