I bet you're right!
First published in 1968, DSM-II (the American classiifcation of mental disorders) listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. In this, the DSM followed in a long tradition in medicine and psychiatry, which in the 19th century appropriated homosexuality from the Church and, in an élan of enlightenment, transformed it from sin to mental disorder.
In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) asked all members attending its convention to vote on whether they believed homosexuality to be a mental disorder. 5,854 psychiatrists voted to remove homosexuality from the DSM, and 3,810 to retain it.
And so in 1973 homosexuality became something that perfectly normal psychiatrists do, which may say more about psychiatrists than about homosexuals.

They will probably teach kids that Reagan is to blame for the AIDS crisis.
The “heroes” of the queer movement.
Okay, so if thy need to teach it: 1. Reality some people find it objectionable;. 2. Christianity teaches wrong AND tolerance; 3. Islam teaches wrong and kills you. Next lesson.

What the heck is LGBT history?
Another reason to take your child out of public schools.
Why should school kids have to study that aberrant behavior - unless the idea is to normalize it (which it is)?
Geesh.
There is no valid purpose to teach these kids about these degenerates other than indicating conversion therapy would have made them normal.
Depraved! Pull your children out of the public indoctrination system before they are utterly corrupted by it.
Exactly what is taught in LGBT history?
This is just awful. Pedophile history would be no different. Frankly, I’m having a hard time thinking of anything worse.
Why, yes, so we are, and justice delayed is part of the problem, cf:
“Justice delayed is justice denied” is a legal maxim meaning that if legal redress is available for a party that has suffered some injury, but is not forthcoming in a timely fashion, it is effectively the same as having no redress at all. This principle is the basis for the right to a speedy trial and similar rights which are meant to expedite the legal system, because it is unfair for the injured party to have to sustain the injury with little hope for resolution. The phrase has become a rallying cry for legal reformers who view courts or governments as acting too slowly in resolving legal issues either because the existing system is too complex or overburdened, or because the issue or party in question lacks political favour.”

A silver lining to this is that like other “preferred groups”, singling them out just highlights how “outside the norm” they are. They’re not ever pretending to be “normal” - and other groups with “special” designations aren’t, either. A race to see which otherized group can reach the bottom first in terms of underachieving...
This may come as a great surprise to you, but NJ has perhaps the BEST homeschooling laws in the USA. In short, all you NEED to do is inform your district you are HSing, and that is so they don't get you for truancy violations. There is no curriculum check, no mandatory testing, no meddling bureaucrat saying Johnny or Mary need to learn about this or that...nada, zip, zilch.
Now, NJ has bad gun laws and there are other issues (pro-abortion zealots, RINO rampancy, love of Springsteen and Eli Manning). But you have to pick your poison. Further, NJ has some of the best diners on the planet.
As I've said before, there are a meaningfully large number of Deplorables in NJ. They are good, decent people and I would argue that BECAUSE they are denied liberty often they have a deep love and appreciation for things others take for granted.
Finally, I'd suggest that many HSers in NJ already learn LGBT things but on their parents terms. Indeed, there is a great deal to be learned from the life of Freddie Mercury or going to see Judas Priest live. Or, the parent can be silent on the topic. Given how onerous other "free" states' HSing laws can be, it *may*be that NJ is the place to stay.
Good, informative post.
Even better, if you've never sent your children to school here, then you're not required to inform anyone.
But, truth be told, NJ would be the worst in HSing laws IF NOT for all the times we protested against any anti-HSing bill that was brought up.
That's why this state is still the best place for HSing. The support groups and co-ops have always been well-organized here, too. Our students have many options and a lot of freedom.
And this state is filled with some beautiful places.
It's a shame what Murphy and the Dems are doing to it. In addition to this latest news, they also passed a law letting people change their sex on their birth certificates. And now they've passed a $15 min. wage law. So, even if Murphy turns out to be a one-term governor, he's leaving a mess that probably will never be undone.
How long do you think before they start strictly governing the HS curriculum and force people teach the LBQTXYZ crap to their kids? The insanity is accelerating all over the country.
