Bill Dragon of 47 Post Road used his allotted public-comment time to urge the board to oppose state guidance and executive orders he said permit transgender and abortion instruction in schools.
"I'd like to talk against Governor Murphy's order... to teach transgender education to the kids and to teach abortion to the kids," Dragon said, adding that such instruction should be left to parents. He referred to recent national court decisions and related news items in support of his views.
The presiding officer enforced the meeting's public-comment time limit and closed the public-comment period after other speakers concluded. The board did not take a formal vote in response to the remarks. No administrative policy change was announced at the meeting.
Dragon's comments were presented during the non-agenda public-comment portion of the meeting; the board's public-comment rules and time limits were observed.
