No, I'm not "railing" against that law.

The majority of it sounds fantastic.

There's no reason why we can't have all of this ->

An Act concerning diversity and inclusion instruction in school districts and supplementing chapter 35 of Title 18A of the New Jersey Statutes.

Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:

C.18A:35-4.36a Curriculum to include instruction on diversity and inclusion.

  1. a. Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, each school district shall incorporate instruction on diversity and inclusion in an appropriate place in the curriculum of students in grades kindergarten through 12 as part of the district’s implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. b. The instruction shall: (1) highlight and promote diversity, including economic diversity, equity, inclusion, tolerance, race and ethnicity, disabilities, and religious tolerance; (2) examine the impact that unconscious bias and economic disparities have at both an individual level and on society as a whole; and (3) encourage safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments for all students regardless of race or ethnicity, mental and physical disabilities, and religious beliefs. c. The Commissioner of Education shall provide school districts with sample learning activities and resources designed to promote diversity and inclusion."

And just ensure this small tiny part ->

sexual and gender identities

is left off for at least when they're older, say in highschool. When they could properly comprehend what they're hearing.
