Supreme Court rules in favor of Maryland parents who want to pull kids from classes with LGBTQ-themed books
NY Post ^ | 6/27/25 | Samuel Chamberlain, Ryan King

Posted on 06/27/2025 12:57:34 PM PDT by Libloather

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a group of Maryland parents who sued a school board over its refusal to allow elementary school children to be taken out of classes with LGBTQ-themed storybooks.

In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines Friday, the justices overturned a lower court ruling that found the parents needed to show that their kids were being coerced to act differently than their religious beliefs. The high court concluded that the parents “have shown that they are entitled to a preliminary injunction” because they “are likely to succeed in their challenge to the Board’s policies.

“The ruling is not the final decision in the matter, as the case will head back to the lower courts for further review.

“A government burdens the religious exercise of parents when it requires them to submit their children to instruction that poses ‘a very real threat of undermining’ the religious beliefs and practices that the parents wish to instill,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority.

“And a government cannot condition the benefit of free public education on parents’ acceptance of such instruction.”

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) approved certain LGBTQ-themed curriculum books in late 2022. Initially, MCPS allowed an opt-out for parents with religious concerns, but by March of 2023, it reversed course, citing concerns about absenteeism and administrative burdens.

A group of parents from Muslim, Roman Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox faiths sued the school district, arguing the lack of an opt-out system trampled upon their religious rights as parents.

Shouldn’t have even gotten to the courts. The state has absolutely no hold on your children

Yep, I’ve wondered if Amy Coney Barrett has redeemed herself, in the minds of some.

I know that she is widely disliked here on Free Republic.

But she’s been solidly with the conservative bloc on a few recent rulings.

Just teach reading, writing, arithmetic, and history. Leave the moral instruction to the parents and their pastors. Public school teachers are the servants of the parents, not their masters.

LGBTQ-themed storybooks

"Story" books? Like the prince kissed the sleeping beauty to waken her? And "they lived happily ever after"? Or a slow tortoise won the race against the speedy hare? Those kinds of stories?

What crap calling that porn for tykes "storybooks"!

Wouldn't it be nice if all the alphabet people crap was filed in the fiction section?

Montgomery County MD has a reputation of being a very liberal place. I suspect that school officials there, in wanting to show how tolerant they are, approved of this curriculum.

I think we all know, we conservatives find this sort of thing in school to be outrageous. Liberals see nothing wrong with this.And in fact, they think it somehow celebrates diversity.

I’m wondering...had Operation Midnight Hammer been a fiasco, would today’s Supreme Court rulings still have favored Trump and the MAGA side?

Sadly, that horse left the barn long ago. Now it’s all about feeding the education-industrial complex and social engineering by conceited bureaucrats.

**Just teach reading, writing, arithmetic, and history.**

9-12AM-teach the 3R’s only. History can be integrated in reading/writing.

PM-electives. Make them pay for wherever their interests lie. Send them home or put them to work for 4 hours as an option. Watch the left squeal. We won’t be sending them into coal mines.

These opinions have been works in progress for many weeks now.

So it’s doubtful, any justice would have changed their opinion,,based on the results of midnight hammer.

The opinions were released today, but each judge knew long ago, which side of the issue they were on., it just takes them a while to write up their opinions.

Didn’t Roberts change and rewrite his opinion at the last moment in the Obama insurance case?
