School districts that leave parents in the dark when their child exhibits a change in gender identity are merely following "the American way," New Jersey Democratic governor Phil Murphy argued Sunday.
Murphy during a CBS News appearance defended his administration's decision to sue school districts that enact parental notification policies, which require school officials to inform parents when their child displays a change in his or her gender identity. For Murphy, those policies force school staff "to 'out' LGBTQ+ students to their parents," as he argued in May, and therefore violate the child's constitutional rights. As a result, Murphy argued Sunday, opposing parental notification is "the American way."
"Listen, we took these actions because it's the right thing to do," Murphy said. "Let's protect the rights of these precious kids. Let's do things the right way, the American way."
