There was a packed meeting Wednesday night in Colts Neck, where the school board was set to take action on a controversial new policy about gender identity. As DougWilliamsTV reports, the vote was postponed.

Critics and supporters of a proposed school district policy inpacked a school gym on Wednesday night. The policy would task school principals with communicating a student's decision to change names or pronouns to parents.

"A kid, a child who believes in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny does not have the emotional or intellectual maturity to decide what their parents should and should not know," another person said. "Having teachers to confide in before my parents made me feel amazing, and with policy 57.56, you're taking that moment away from potentially hundreds of students," a Manalapan resident named Claire said.
