Dem Governor: Failing To Notify Parents When Their Child Changes Gender Is ‘The American Way’ — freebeacon.com
The Democratic governor is Phil Murphy from New Jersey, who says that “outing” LGBTQ students to their parents is a violation of the child’s constitutional rights. Thus, opposing parental notification is “the American way.”
“Listen, we took these actions because it’s the right thing to do,” Murphy said. “Let’s protect the rights of these precious kids. Let’s do things the right way, the American way.”
I wasn’t even aware that constitutional rights apply to children. Without researching it, I suspect they don’t.
I also don’t think that children have the cognitive maturity to make decisions on their own about sexuality and gender identity. Transgenderism, for example, is a mental disorder: gender dysphoria. It’s a diagnosis obtained via medical care and therapy, not obtained via the internet. There almost certainly is not someone at a school qualified to make such a diagnosis.
It gets worse. Murphy’s attorney general, Matt Platkin, says parental notification policies pose “serious mental health risks” and threaten “physical harm to students.”
You send your kid to school and not only are totally unqualified people taking him or her on gender journeys, they’re telling your kids that you are dangerous and violent, and therefore teachers and students must team up to lie to you.
Can anyone explain how this guy gets one single vote from a parent in the entire state of New Jersey?
