Supreme Court Orders Opt-Out for LGBTQ Lessons
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that parents in Maryland have the right to opt their children out of public school lessons featuring LGBTQ-themed books if such content conflicts with their religious beliefs. The case involved Montgomery County's removal of an opt-out policy after introducing LGBTQ-inclusive storybooks in elementary schools, leading to lawsuits from Christian and Muslim parents. Justice Samuel Alito authored the majority opinion, finding that requiring attendance at these lessons unconstitutionally burdened the free exercise of religion under the First Amendment. Dissenting justices argued for the importance of exposing children to diverse ideas in public education. The ruling orders schools to reinstate parental notification and opt-out options while litigation continues. The decision is seen as a significant win for religious conservatives and could affect how schools nationwide handle similar opt-out requests.
