administration has filed lawsuits against three school districts that adopted new policies related to transgender students.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy gives a victory speech to supporters at Grand Arcade at the Pavilion on November 3, 2021 in Asbury Park, New Jersey.Platkin stated that"outing" transgender, gender-nonconforming and non-binary students poses"serious mental health risks; threatens physical harm to students, including increased risk of suicide; and shirks the District's duty to create a safe and supportive learning environment for all.
"While the State of New Jersey mandates that school districts adopt a transgender student policy, specifically singling out these students in our community, Middletown’s policy treats all students the same. If any student, regardless of gender identity or expression, sought to change their official school records or was seeking or identified as needing counseling, parents would and should be notified, just as they are informed of every other aspect of their child’s activities in school.
Platkin has said that transgender children are a protected class and as such, school districts implementing similar policies directly violate New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination. The Murphy administration, as such, is seeking a temporary restraining order against the named districts to block the policies from going into effect.
