Reply to comment by EyesOnImprovement in To Jersey City Parents With Kids In The Public School System…. by keepseeing444

I never said anything about not accepting... All because we don't teach the Quran at school doesn't mean we're not accepting of Muslim kids. Or is that how it secretly works in your mind?

And I don't know the scale it's happening on, but i believe it's newly been approved for the public school system and will slowly be introduced throughout the state if I'm not mistaken.

The comparison here would be you not wanting the Quran taught in schools because kids are easily confused and not mature enough to choose their own religion. Yet undoubtedly both Muslim and trans students exist.

Here's the law you're railing against.

"An Act concerning diversity and inclusion instruction in school districts and supplementing chapter 35 of Title 18A of the New Jersey Statutes.

Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:

C.18A:35-4.36a Curriculum to include instruction on diversity and inclusion.

  1. a. Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, each school district shall incorporate instruction on diversity and inclusion in an appropriate place in the curriculum of students in grades kindergarten through 12 as part of the district’s implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards.
    b. The instruction shall:
    (1) highlight and promote diversity, including economic diversity, equity, inclusion, tolerance, and belonging in connection with gender and sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, disabilities, and religious tolerance;
    (2) examine the impact that unconscious bias and economic disparities have at both an individual level and on society as a whole; and
    (3) encourage safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments for all students regardless of race or ethnicity, sexual and gender identities, mental and physical disabilities, and religious beliefs.
    c. The Commissioner of Education shall provide school districts with sample learning activities and resources designed to promote diversity and inclusion."

No, I'm not "railing" against that law.

The majority of it sounds fantastic.

There's no reason why we can't have all of this ->

And just ensure this small tiny part ->

sexual and gender identities

is left off for at least when they're older, say in highschool. When they could properly comprehend what they're hearing.
