Reina Smrdelj is a legislative analyst at the Assembly Republican Office in Trenton, NJ. Here she discusses the new curriculum and a Democrat proposal (S2481) that makes the school’s teaching materials public, but does nothing to help parents prevent sexually explicit instruction. In contrast, Republicans sponsor bills (A3763, A3883 and ACR21) that guarantee parents have a say in an age-appropriate public education, protect young children from mature subjects and call on the Board of Education to revise the standards.
