NJ Gov. Murphy willing to 'entertain' changes to gender identity lessons for 2nd graders

Gov. Murphy defended gender identity lessons for New Jersey public elementary school students.

"I'd say a couple of things," Murphy began. "Number one, I think there's some sort of sense that parents have no say, and I would just say emphatically that parents deserve absolutely to have a say in this sort of stuff – Along with all other interested parties, but probably none are more interested than parents."

"Number two, I don't like the fact that some are using this as an opportunity to score political points and to further divide us," he continued. "I say that on behalf of the LGBTQIA+ communities. Let's everybody not use this to divide us."
