To the Editor:

I was very dismayed to read that Pinelands Junior High is adding an “LGBTQ curriculum” (“Pinelands Launches LGBTQ Curriculum for Eighth-Graders,” 12/4). This was done with absolutely no notice to parents and is not state mandated.

I think at the very least parents should have the opportunity to “opt in” (not “opt out,” which is always a very sneaky way of passing things “under the wire”).
