ACR 131 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Opposes State Board of Education revised New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education on sex education adopted on June 3, 2020.

ACR 131 is a concurrent resolution introduced by Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia opposing the New Jersey State Board of Education's 2020 revised standards for comprehensive health and physical education, specifically regarding sex education. The resolution states these standards interfere with parents' rights to guide their children's education on sensitive topics according to family values, include age-inappropriate content, and fail to adequately protect students from unintended exposure through the existing opt-out provision. It calls on the State Board to revise the standards to better respect parental autonomy. This resolution does not create new law but formally expresses legislative opposition to the current standards. The resolution was introduced on May 2, 2024, and focuses on the 2020 adoption date of the standards.
