Sex Ed: Are public schools using the cult-technique of shunning?

By Rubashov

A blog called “Chaos and Control” ran a story about what happens to children whose parents opt-out of the Murphy administration’s sex-ed curriculum mandates. The blog carried several photos of the room in which a child is banished while his or her classmates receive instruction on the finer points of masturbation or the joys of hormone blockers. Here is an example:

According to the blog, “the image above is allegedly the Martin J Ryerson Middle School (Ringwood NJ) closet (off the main office) where they keep the 6-8 grade opt-out kids.” The blog suggests that “some schools want to purposely make it uncomfortable or down right dangerous for kids to opt-out.”

The blog notes: “This is their view, 5 days a week, for a 45 min period, since school started in September. Parents have been told that an adult checks on the secluded kids to make sure they are OK, but someone at that school needs to explain how this is appropriate or even humane to do to a child.”

“This room wouldn’t even be appropriate for a detention, let alone a kid who’s only crime is to be opted-out of the NJ state Sex Ed classes. Apparently we need a child bill of rights to make sure the administrators of the schools use good judgment when handling our children.”

By nightfall yesterday, the Superintendent of the Ringwood Schools had issued a letter raising more questions. In his letter, which was ostensibly designed to reassure parents, the Superintendent spent many words on the former use of the room in an attempt to describe its size. As everyone who has ever dealt with a realtor knows, floor space is best described in square feet. What are the dimensions and square footage of the room in the picture above?

Is it larger than a standard sized prison cell housing one inmate? The American Correctional Association standards require a minimum of 70 square feet for a single inmate cell. How many children are housed in the room pictured above at one time?

The Superintendent took a number of curious “steps” to address the publication of the story. These included calling the Ringwood police department and filing a report. Why? Was it to report possible criminal activity by the school or was it an attempt to intimidate a journalist exercising her rights under the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights?

The Superintendent notes: “Action will be taken to secure the network rack behind a wall or partition. While the wall or partition is being installed around the (computer) network rack, students will not be in the room.” Does this mean the room’s current configuration is a safety hazard? Does it create the possibility for child injury and open the district to legal issues? His statement seems to suggest so.

What concerns us most about this situation is the psychological effect such physical isolation will have on the children of dissenters. The threat of shunning is a practice often used by cults to achieve conformity. Cults use this technique of isolating dissenters as a punishment for expressing non-conformist ideas. In our opinion, such methods should not be turned on public school children.

Instead, schoolteachers and administrators should publicly support the decision of the parents and the children of those parents. They should explain how dissent is an American tradition and forms the basis of the laws that protect conscientious objection to a variety of government prerogatives – including war.

Who knows, such knowledge might lead some future generation to stand up to our nation’s endless infatuation with armed conflict. Its fixation with violence. One can only hope.

Sen. Gopal proposes new bill to undo the curriculum law he co-sponsored.

Are Phil Murphy and the Democrat Party grooming your children?
 
The Center for Garden State Families continues to be inundated with calls from parents and concerned teachers from all over the state about the extreme comprehensive sex education materials being mandated in New Jersey government schools.
 
Since the beginning of the Murphy administration, there has been a move within government agencies and the New Jersey Legislature to change the culture in New Jersey. That culture includes grooming your children.
 
You may have heard of the term “grooming.” We are not referring to grooming your hair or how you style your clothing. According to the website Out of the Fog, “Grooming is an insidious predatory tactic, utilized by abusers. Grooming is practiced by Narcissists, Antisocial predators, con-artists and sexual aggressors, who target and manipulate vulnerable people for exploitation. Child grooming is the deliberate act of establishing an emotional bond with a child, to lower the child's resistance.”
 
Every citizen of the state has an obligation to guard and protect the most vulnerable among us. This is especially true of our children. The medical Dictionary defines child grooming as, “The constellation of psychological manipulations and actions taken by a predatory adult, meant to reduce a child’s fears and inhibitions, as a prelude to sexual abuse or exploitation by the predator or his/her associates.” This thoroughly describes the new comprehensive sex education curricula and education standards devised by Gov. Phil and his wife Tammy Murphy.
 
These Department of Education standards as developed will clearly desensitize and sexualize children. Parents are asking:  Why is it necessary to introduce sexually explicit, graphic sex acts to minor children? Why is it the responsibility of government schools to teach sex acts, with whom to have sex, and the mechanics of sex to any student? Frankly, it is not.
 
While Phil Murphy and the Democrat legislators (with the help of a few woke Republicans) are sexually exploiting our children, education standards and outcomes are plummeting. Post-Covid the damage to children emotionally, mentally, and educationally is a train wreck. But the Murphy Administration is not addressing helping children heal from the lockdowns and recover two years of lost diminished education. According to a research article that appeared in PNAS, “Learning loss due to school closures during the Covid 19 pandemic”, the preliminary indications are that the lockdown in the short-term did in fact contribute to learning loss. The study did indicate that the suspension of face-to-face instruction in schools during the Covid 19 pandemic has led to concerns and visible consequences to students learning. The Center for Garden State Families has observed in multiple school board meetings that parents have testified to the learning loss and significant psychological, emotional and education deficits in their children since the pandemic. The overwhelming concern from parents, teachers and the community is why hasn’t this obvious learning loss issue been addressed? Why is the Murphy administration and the New Jersey General Assembly focusing on sexually explicit, age-inappropriate and political indoctrinating material including LGBTQIA – XYZ for New Jersey government schools?
 
Within the last week, we’ve seen multiple news articles from national sources as well as inside the Garden State showing the panic of Senator Vin Gopal (Democrat, LD-11), Chairman of the State Senate Education Committee. Sen. Gopal begged Gov. Phil Murphy to suspend the controversial education gender identity standards for 1st and 2nd graders. Gov. Murphy agreed to pause the education standards to six and seven-year-olds until a study could be done to determine their age appropriateness. Let it be clear, this is not a suspension or an erasure of this inappropriate policy which causes children to question their sexuality before they know what sex is. This is a pause, only a pause. Senator Gopal’s panic is from a law that he eagerly co-sponsored and lobbied his fellow legislators to pass prior to his very slim reelection in 2021 while his two Democrat seatmates lost.
 
Now Senator Gopal is scrambling to reverse course and spin away the mess he made. He’s trying to claim that political operatives and politicians are causing parents to be fearful of the curriculum he mandated – so he’s proposing a new bill (“Transparency in Health & Sex Education Curriculum”) that he claims will undo the law he co-sponsored. It was Gopal and his fellow “woke” politicians who teamed up with the political operatives at Garden State Equality that came up with these intrusive curriculum “standards” in the first place. Now he’s embarrassed and afraid so he’s running away and blaming everybody but the face in the mirror.
 
The Center for Garden State Families opposes ALL of the new 2020 Comprehensive Sex Education Standards and the advancement and normalization of the developmental gender identity disorders of LGBTQ. The science is clear, “There are no replicated scientific studies supporting any specific biologic etiology for homosexuality.” American Psychiatric Association. Large-scale GWAS reveals insights to the genetic architecture of same sex-behavior concluded “There is no single gay gene.” Since the real replicated scientific research concludes that homosexuality is not genetic, why are we as a society grooming children to accept the fallacy of alternate sexual identities?

Dr. Michelle Cretella, a pediatrician and executive director of The American College of Pediatricians explains how leftist activist groups infiltrate schools, libraries, and even medical societies with transgender propaganda targeted at children.

She then explains the irreversible sterilization and long-term medical risks that can come from puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery.
