Supreme Court to Hear Case of Schools Trying to ‘Cut the Parents Out’ on LGBTQ Issues

(Worthy Insights) – A significant case involving parental rights and LGBTQ+ education is set to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court as early as this spring and could have wide-reaching implications for religious beliefs and public education across the country.

At the heart of the case is a group of parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, challenging the school district’s decision to include LGBTQ-themed storybooks in preschool and elementary classrooms. The parents, representing various faiths including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, argue the books conflict with their religious beliefs and are seeking to opt their children out of these lessons.

The books approved by the Montgomery County Board of Education in 2022 include titles such as My Rainbow, a story about a Black transgender girl; Uncle Bobby’s Wedding, a story about a young girl who learns about her uncle marrying another man; and Pride Puppy, which follows a family and their dog at a Pride Parade.
