fantastic job and basic basically retired as the assistant superintendent in the rowy schools so I I want to just pass that along uh good DNA in the educational side of things thank you yes and and on behalf of the board our condolences thank you all right now uh hearing of the public for non-agenda items Bill draggy 47 Post Road Clark New Jersey um I like to say uh I have good news um well good news for people that are thinking about the lgbtq stuff as I do um which is that it's very bad um the Supreme Court recently um delayed President Biden's uh lgbtq um law um going into which would go which have gone into effect August 1 which would be which would make all the states of United States just like Jersey which is very bad having uh children being taught all this lgbtq stuff and having the parents um prevented from uh going against their children if their children wants to become a girl and he's really a boy and uh parents would have no say in it it's so so terrible so I this this went to the Supreme Court about five or six days a five or six days ago because some of the states about 10 states were against it and it was appealed and uh they brought it to the Supreme Court because uh it was holding up everything with Biden's law he he said it was it's too pervasive um that's what the opposing forces were saying and they wanted it to be to uh they wanted Biden's law to go into effect on August 1st the Supreme Court said no we'll wait until the appell court comes through for all these 10 states and then uh it'll probably go back again to the Supreme Court and if the Supreme Court comes out in that ruling and brings brings the word constitutional into it or unconstitutional rather saying it's unconstitutional and that would be great because then our state will not be able to do it either so hope and pray for that and president um Vice uh former president Trump came out recently and said he was when if he gets into office he's going to overturn all of this and prevent all the schools that are doing this from it happening by executive order and so I hope everybody votes for Trump because then that that'll be prevented in the state also thank you is there anybody else that would like to come up and speak good evening Chris Marson uh from the Clark Public School District I just uh wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for the opportunity to serve as an administrator in the Clark Public School District I really want to thank the administrative team for their support over the past few weeks as well transitioning from classroom teacher to
