FLEMINGTON, N.J. — In this interview with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman at the Protect Your Children conference, prominent New Jersey Mayor Alfonso Cirulli warned that parents should get their children out of the public-school system. “If you can get your kids out of public school—and I’m a career educator—get them out, and hold them out,” he said. Cirulli, a veteran educator with decades of experience in education, sparked a firestorm after boldly speaking out against a new state law purporting to require that government schools indoctrinate children into the LGBT agenda. He says this law tramples the First Amendment-protected rights of parents. “It’s outrageous,” he said, calling for the statute to be repealed. Cirulli also noted that homosexual activists have come against him by calling him names. However, major voices, including Franklin Graham, have come out in his defense.
