The Republicans’ zeal to make the November election about “parents’ rights” in education seems to have no end.
Republicans in Sussex County, who really don’t need all that much help to win elections, are going the artistic route.
They are disseminating a cartoon condemning Phil Murphy’s “Sex Ed Mandates.”
It may not have the enduring legacy of Thomas Nast’s depiction of “Boss Tweed,” but it makes the point.
The drawing shows the governor yanking a screaming boy from his horrified parents. Waiting for the boy on the other side of Murphy are three alien-looking beings who – presumably – plan to transform the boy into a girl. One is holding a dress.
Sussex Republicans have big plans for this creation, saying it will appear as advertisements in more than 50 locations through the election.
It is hazardous to analyze cartoons factually, but this one is a bit “out there.”
To state the obvious, no state policy compels any child to alter his or her gender.
But the apparent idea here is to grab attention. It also shows – again – what Republicans want this year’s prime campaign issue to be.
