ANOTHER VICTORY: Supreme Court Rules Parents Can Opt out of Classes with LGBTQ Books

The US Supreme Court on Friday delivered another win for America.

In a 6-3 decision the high court on Friday ruled that parents can opt out of classes with LGBTQ books.

In 2022, a Maryland county approved LGBTQ-themed books for elementary school children to bring ‘diversity’ to school districts.

One of the books approved was titled, “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding” – a book about a gay wedding. Other books approved by the radical school board pushed gender transition onto children.

A Muslim couple and members of Catholic and Orthodox churches sued so they can opt their children out of the classes that push the LGBTQ indoctrination.

NBC News reported:

The Supreme Court on Friday bolstered religious rights as it ruled in favor of parents who objected to LGBTQ-themed books that a Maryland county approved for use in elementary school classrooms.

In a 6-3 vote, the court backed the parents’ claim that the Montgomery County Board of Education’s decision not to allow an opt-out option for their children violated their religious rights under the Constitution’s First Amendment, which protects religious expression.

“The board’s introduction of the ‘LGBTQ+ inclusive’ storybooks, along with its decision to withhold opt-outs, places an unconstitutional burden on the parents’ rights to the free exercise of their religion,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court.

The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority that is often receptive to religious claims. The liberal justices dissented.

“The result will be chaos for this nation’s public schools,” liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion.

“Given the great diversity of religious beliefs in this country, countless interactions that occur every day in public schools might expose children to messages that conflict with a parents’ beliefs,” she added.
