New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy defended action taken by his administration to prevent school districts from informing parents that their children are showing signs of gender transitioning.

In June, three New Jersey school districts—Middletown, Marlboro, and Manalapan-Englishtown Regional—approved policies to require that parents be told if their children showed signs of “transitioning” to another gender. Specifically, these signs include changes in the name, pronouns, or bathrooms the student uses.
