KINGSWAY, NJ – According to Project Veritas head James O’Keefe, the Kingsway Regional School District in New Jersey has initiated a “tiered” policy for students wishing to socially transition their gender identity without informing their parents, according to documents and video footage obtained exclusively by OMG.
The revelation has sparked debate over parental rights and student privacy.
The policy is described in internal emails among school staff. One email between School counselor Fallon Corcoran and counselor Michael Schiff discusses how to change a student’s preferred name in Genesis, the student database, without alerting families.
Corcoran stated, “I had one of my students reach out to me about their preferred name for next year. Do we know how we can input their name into Genesis without it being visible by families?”
The system developed by Kingsway Regional employs a tiered ranking system. Students in the second tier are permitted to use their chosen name and gender, and this information is deliberately kept from parents.
A source within the school has recorded Fallon Corcoran saying, “I am not calling home… everything we talk about stays between us.” An email from either a teacher or school counselor also noted that a student had “questions about sharing her preferred name and pronouns with teachers but does not want her family to be aware.”
In response to inquiries, Kingsway Regional Superintendent James Lavender stated that the policy was not a district initiative but had been “handed down to the district by the New Jersey Department of Education.” The policy has raised questions about the balance between protecting students’ confidentiality and ensuring parental involvement in significant aspects of their children’s lives.
