judge ruled Friday that three school districts are temporarily prohibited from enforcing new policies on transgender students in which schools would be required to alert parents if their child changes their gender identity.
Bauman said he was not"rendering any final judgments or determinations as to the merits of either the State or the School Boards' claims," pending the outcome of a larger civil rights case.previously agreed to temporarily halt their new transgender policies as the case is worked out in court. Platkin said the state is not attempting to stifle parental rights, but rather to reinstate previously existing school policies that he says protected the rights of transgender students while allowing schools to notify parents about their children"based on individualized and non-discriminatory assessments of a particular child's needs and circumstances."
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's administration filed lawsuits against three schools over their new policies pertaining to transgender students. Marlboro Board of Education attorney Marc Zitomer said in a statement to Fox News Digital that the district is"disappointed that the Court granted the State’s request for a preliminary injunction blocking our implementation of the amended policy until the matter is fully resolved at the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights – a process that could take years."
