i am aware the president is not anti LGBT, and neither am i. i am however against stealing valuable time from my children's education to further the progressive agenda.

Eh, looks as if it will be taught as part of history, and most people seem to not be able to retain much of that subject anyway, so I don't think it's going to make much of a difference.

We're churning out a bunch of morons who can't remember how to use an apostrophe, so I doubt "Stonewall Riots" is going to stick for long.

I doubt that they remember Stonewall Jackson.

I'm sure LGBT history will be lucky to get 10 minutes of class time. I'm lucky that I went to a good NJ school in the days before the new math, phonics and the inability to correctly distinguish when to properly use to, too, two, there, they're, their, your, and you're in a sentence, became part of the curriculum. I'd wager cursive handwriting and diagramming a sentence have fallen by the wayside as well.

Welp you people voted for this crap, what can I tell ya?

Anyone comparing black history month to a mental illness being force-fed in a classroom is a damned fool.

It starts off as a "chapter in a book", then a required course with exams. Hey Murphy and your blue legislative minions, instead of trying to infringe on people's rights how about spending your time and resources on fixing NJT?

History not taught in Nj schools.

Oh please. Please, with a side of cheese.

If "Guvmurph" signed a bill requiring a more vigorous and extensive Black History curriculum, you'd be here hitting all the right-wing Bingos, complaining about "identity politics", and SJWs, and "virtue signalling", and liberal "divisiveness", and "...if we keep dwelling on the past, we can never move forward..." and "What about White History Month??!?".
