Supreme Court to rule on whether parents can opt kids out of sexualized materials in schools

No matter the outcome, parents should seriously consider getting their kids out of public schools, where adults think exposing young children to sexual perversity is a good idea.

 The Supreme Court heard on April 22 a challenge by Maryland parents to a county school system’s ban on opting their young children out of storybook readings about pride parades, gender transitions and drag queens.

 According to the Daily Caller, “The predominantly Muslim and Christian parents behind the case, Mahmoud v. Taylor, argue the Montgomery County Board of Education is infringing on their free exercise rights under the First Amendment.”

 “New government-imposed orthodoxy about what children are ‘supposed’ to think about gender and sexuality is not a constitutional basis to sideline a child’s own parents,” said the parents, backed by The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, in their petition.

 This is an important case riding on religious freedom. If the court finds in favor of the parents on religious grounds, non-religious parents might end up not being able to opt their kids out of this egregious material.  

However, we do believe the attorneys are using what they consider to be the strongest argument for these particular parents.  

No matter the outcome, parents should seriously consider getting their kids out of public schools, where adults think exposing children to sexual perversity is a good idea.

 Books that elementary school teachers read to students include “Pride Puppy,” which asks students to look for images of items like “underwear” and the name of a “controversial LGBTQ activist and sex worker,” and “Intersection Allies,” which asks students to consider questions like what it means to be transgender, according to court documents.

While the school board initially allowed parents with religious objections to opt their children out of the program, it later changed its decision and declined even to offer parental notice.

 This case, if decided rightly, could have international implications.

 The United Nations and other global institutions have been pushing the boundaries of what is suitable for children. What happens at the highest level in the United States could encourage parents around the world to resist the global elites’ campaign to sexualize and radicalize children.

Opt-outs are available for sex ed classes mandated in Montgomery County’s high schools, yet the district denies opt-outs for the “LGBTQ-inclusive” storybooks it required for elementary students in just 2022, according to the parents’ petition, the Daily Caller reported. The parents sued in May 2023. 

The Trump administration, in a brief backing the parents, wrote that the lower court “overlooks that the relevant religious practices are parents’ sincere beliefs.” 

“The Board’s policy requires parents to ‘shed their religious beliefs,’ about how to raise their children within their faiths: They cannot subject their children to the schools’ instruction regarding the storybooks without violating those beliefs,” the Justice Department wrote.

 This shows yet again that elections have consequences. If the 2024 election had gone the other way, the Justice Department would have sided with the school officials who are bent on sexually corrupting children.
