As a parent of two kids in NJ public schools, this ROCKS.
NJ students in grades 6-12 will now learn about “the history of organized labor, notable strikes throughout history, unionization drives, and the collective bargaining process and existing legal protections in the workplace.”
This is genuinely so important, and so good to see. Jersey strong, baby!!

Proud to sign legislation today ensuring students understand the history of the labor movement and safeguarding the freedom of employees to make their own choices at work without coercion.
These bills reinforce our commitment to honoring the role of organized labor. www.nj.gov/governor/new...

In 2001, I was lead counsel on a class action case on behalf of so-called "comfort women"--sex slaves who were kidnapped from grade schools and town squares across southeast Asia, ranked by race, and forced to service up to forty Japanese soldiers a day in concentration camps--and this made me cry.
The term “comfort women” was a euphemism for South Korean women forced into military sex slavery during WWII. Use of the phrase has been criticized for minimizing the harm and gravity of Japan’s actions.
