NJ School District Faces Lawsuit and Backlash Over LGBTQ+ Policy and Parental Notification.

The New Jersey Attorney General's Office has filed a civil rights complaint against the Hanover Township school district over a policy that would require teachers to disclose the gender identity and sexual orientation of LGBTQ+ students to parents. The state argues that the policy violates state law and contradicts existing transgender student policies. The school district has said it will "vigorously defend" the policy, which it says protects parental rights and ensures the safety of all students. Schools in New Jersey are required to accept a student's preferred gender identity and pronouns without parental consent.
