Republican Holly Schepisi sets straight Dems’ misrepresentation of curriculum
/By Rubashov
Senator Holly Schepisi (R-39) stepped up, did the research, and delivered a knock-out punch to the excuses and misrepresentations being peddled by Democrats like Senator Vin Gopal and their media enablers. Senator Schepisi posted this earlier today:
There has been a lot of back pedaling and claims over the past two weeks that the dropbox link I shared with examples of "model curriculum" for sex-ed in New Jersey would never be implemented, wasn't intended for our schools and that teachers would never be encouraged to direct children to the amaze.org website. Some people have gone so far as stating that I am providing intentional misinformation. As I believe facts matter I have tied everything together. What my research has proven is that the "model curriculum" is in fact what would have ultimately been promoted for New Jersey schools. Parents stay involved, stay aware and continue to have your voices heard.
Amaze.org, Advocates for Youth and Answer at Rutgers are partners with Siecus.org which is Sex Ed for Social Change. Siecus partnered with advocates for Youth and Answer to create the Future of Sex Education which focuses on institutionalizing sex education. They jointly created the updated National Sexuality Education Standards in 2020 which standards were fully adopted by the NJ State DOE at their June 3, 2020 meeting. They also jointly created the “model curriculum” including the Amaze.org videos, to go along with the updated National Sexuality Education Standards which everyone is now backing away from. As an aside, Siecus advocates that Sex Ed in the US historically is a function of middle class white supremacy.

In a Star-Ledger op-ed published today, the Democrats trotted out four so-called “experts” to argue for the curriculum mandates that have so infuriated parents and taxpayers. Of course, they are anything but “experts”. Instead, these four are political operatives and lobbyists who earn their living pushing highly partisan policy positions that serve to deeply divide America.
They might sound left-of-center, but that is simply the heavy application of lipstick on a pack of porkers. These people represent the intersection of policy-for-profit and the corporate establishment.
Take “expert” Dan Rice, the executive director of Answer. A fashion plate amongst the “playing at being Left” Establishment, he brags on his own LinkedIn page about “partnering with Trojan Brand condoms to develop and launch Sex, Etc. University – an online sexual health resource…” and “serving on the committees to update the National Sex Education Standards and the New Jersey Health and Physical Education standards.”
Wow, Trojan Brand condoms! Talk about product placement!
Then there’s “expert” Debra Hauser, the executive director of Advocates for Youth. She’s listed as a federal lobbyist.
“Expert” Elizabeth Coulter is the director of public health and policy with Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey. Her group lobbies the Legislature and promotes political candidates (with money) at elections.
And last, but certainly not least, is “expert” Christian Fuscarino – the executive director of Garden State Equality. His group directly profited from government, even while it lobbied politicians and handed out checks to candidates.
Some “experts”! More like partisan hacks who like hanging around corporate Establishment types.
