By doing this, parents and guardians will know exactly what is in their local school district's curriculum.
Mandate that all school curriculums be uploaded to their Board of Education website 14 days prior to start of the school year. "There really is an obligation to get out the correct information, for the superintendent of schools and the board of education, in particular, to say here’s what we’re doing in our community, here’s how we’re developing a curriculum,” said Rich Bozza, the executive director of the New Jersey Association of School AdministratorsĪccording to the New Jersey Senate Democratic Office, the Gopal legislation would do the following: School administrators welcomed the pause. Murphy, a Democrat, also cautioned against bigoted rhetoric. "There's some sort of sense that parents have no say and I would just say emphatically parents deserve absolutely to have a say in this sort of stuff, along with all other interested parties, but probably none more interested than parents,” said Murphy. When Murphy announced the pause to implementing the new curriculum in the Fall, he agreed parents needed to have a greater voice. Ultimately, parents would be able to opt-out of any sex education's classes if they disagreed with what was being taught. Parents would then have the right to meet with school officials to ask any questions they may have. Under Gopal's plan, districts would have to post the exact curriculum to be taught on-line for parents to view. "We have seen professional political operatives and politicians purposely spread misinformation and false claims that cause concern for well-meaning parents," Gopal said in a statement, "Parents should be empowered with all the information they need to make decisions for their children." 
Vin Gopal says there has been a tremendous amount of misinformation from both sides of the debate, and his "Transparency in Health & Sex Education Curriculum Act" seeks to combat that.
