SW News: The Attorney General of the American State of New Jersey is suing three school districts for adopting new policies related to gender-dysphoric students. Matthew Platkin filed a lawsuit to challenge rules requiring teachers to inform parents if a child requests a name that does not correspond with their biological sex.

The action comes after the Middletown Township, Marlboro Township, and Manalapan-Englishtown Regional Boards of Education modified and adopted policies requiring staff to notify parents about the same. They each make exceptions for parents' notification if there is reason to believe doing so could put the student in harm's way. And these policies were approved earlier last week. Soon after, Platkin filed the three emergency lawsuits, claiming that the districts were endangering the safety of so-called transgender students.

Platkin said that these policies would adversely affect gender-dysphoric students. "In New Jersey, we will not tolerate any action by schools that threatens the health and safety of our young people. Without question, the discriminatory policies passed by these Boards of Education, if allowed to go into effect, will harm our kids and pose a severe risk to their safety," he added.

In a statement to Fox News, Middletown Board Counsel Bruce Padula said the policies do not treat gender-confused youth differently or discriminate against them. "Contrary to the Attorney General's false narrative, this is not an 'outing' policy. Middletown will vehemently defend its policy," he added.

Meanwhile, New Jersey filed a similar lawsuit against the Hanover Board of Education last month.
