Amid the backlash against New Jersey’s K-12 sex education standards, a Republican state senator is pushing a bill that would impose restrictions on how schools can teach about sexual orientation and gender identity.
State Sen. Edward Durr, a former trucker who unseated long-time Democrat career politician Steve Sweeney in last year’s election, on Monday introduced Senate Bill 2648. This bill is similar to a part of Florida’s new education law, under which teachers are not allowed to discuss sexual orientation or gender identity in grades K through 3.
