Do You Support Trenton's A.C. Takeover? 
Leading Social Conservative Group "Cautiously Optimistic" Regarding Rosenzweig Nomination
| March 8, 2010 Two of the remaining hearings are of particular note, the first being today. The nomination of Janet Rosenzweig, at first glance, would make one wonder why a person with associations with AASECT (the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists) and Quad S (SSSS – Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality), would be nominated for the Department of Children and Families. After reading Paul Mulshine’s article about Ms. Rosenzweig we did some research concerning this nominee, because the connections to these associations caused some concern for the NJFPC.
However, not to be ones to cast accusations without a full communication with the Governor’s office and the nominee herself, the NJFPC requested a meeting which was granted this past Friday. One of the encouraging points that we came away with from that meeting was that Ms. Rosenzweig is an advocate for preventing child abuse. Her convictions and answers to our questions provided insight and a feeling that she would be a tough Commissioner who would implement the policies set forth by Governor Chris Christie. That is, to protect children and continue building on the improvements that has already begun in the Department of Children and Families. According to Ms. Rosenzweig her training and background equipped her to train police and social workers in looking for the signs of adults abusing children. “Based on our meeting I am cautiously optimistic that Ms. Rosenzweig is capable of doing a good job in the best interests of our children once confirmed,” Deo stated.
The folks over at Townhall ran an article by internationally known conservative scholar and psychologist Dr. Miriam Grossman:

Here was the punchline:
"Surely Gov Christie is familiar with the Reagan era adage: 'Personnel is policy'. Janet Rosenzweig’s prior affiliations will lilely impact the policies she develops or supports. Given what we know of those affiliations, that’s disturbing. The Committee is obligated to ask the nominee tough questions that will make everyone squirm, but ask them they must, and persist until they get truthful, comprehensive answers. The families of New Jersey deserve no less than that."
This could be one of those appointments that serves to define over time, so it doesn't look too good for Len Deo or for the GOP Senators who vote to confirm her.
I mean, Google her group and look at what they do:
Transwomen, Femmequeens, Drag Kings, and Genderqueers:
Meeting the HIV/STD Prevention Needs of a New Face of Trans Youth (4 CE)
This fun, interactive workshop will enhance communication and advocacy skills of sexuality and health professionals who work with transgender (trans) youth, and assist them in building programs, services, and collaborative research initiatives with trans people to improve HIV/STD prevention and education. The workshop will assist participants in gaining knowledge about new emerging trans youth identities, explore feelings about trans youth experiences and improve comfort levels, help build strategies for improving health care access, services, and sexuality education, and examine ways to conduct research through collaborative partnerships with youth.
That isn't going to look good on a piece of literature.
