Right from the beginning, let me be clear. Kids are under the auspices of their parents … not under the auspices of the government, whether that be state or federal governments.
From N.J News:
On Thursday, 6/29/23, New Jersey State Attorney General Matthew Platkin filed civil rights complaints challenging parental notification policies that three New Jersey school boards adopted this week regarding transgender and nonbinary students, his office announced.
The move comes after the Middletown Township, Marlboro Township and Manalapan-Englishtown Regional Boards of Education on Tuesday, 6/27/23, adopted or amended school policies requiring staff to notify parents when gender-nonconforming students wish to change their names, be called by new pronouns, or request other accommodations.
Who is this Matthew Platkin?
A little background from Wikipedia:
He is 36 years old, and was born and raised in New Jersey. He then attended Stanford undergrad as well as Stanford Law.
On February 3, 2022, Governor Phil Murphy announced that he was appointing Platkin to serve as Acting Attorney General. Platkin assumed office on February 14, 2022, succeeding Andrew Bruck as Acting Attorney General. He assumed the position in full on September 29, 2022, after the confirmation of his appointment by the New Jersey State Senate.
Platkin served as Chief Counsel to Governor Murphy from January 2018 to October 2020. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he drafted executive orders and workforce policies for state government employees.[4] He took a leave during January 2020 to serve as Senator Cory Booker‘s special counsel during the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
So let’s get this straight, Matthew Platkin appears to be a very young, inexperienced Democrat who was appointed, not elected, to his Attorney General position. Serving as a special counsel to Cory Booker during Trump’s first impeachment only serves to document that he might be what friends of mine call “a liberal whack-job.”
Platkin’s complaint seems reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984 in which good was evil and evil was good!
Don’t you just wonder how long this AG in New Jersey has been in hibernation? Is he not cognizant of what happened recently in Virginia when the governor decided to go head to head with the parents of school children.
From my perspective, go for it, Matthew Platkin!
