‘Not a Fundamental Right’: Maryland Court Strikes Down Parents’ Request to Opt Kids Out of LGBT Curriculum
National Review ^ | Aug 24, 2023 | HALEY STRACK

Posted on 08/24/2023 1:29:09 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

A Maryland district court denied parents’ appeal to reinstate an opt-out policy in Montgomery County Public Schools on Thursday.

The case, Tamer Mahmoud v. Monica B. McKnight, hinged on whether the district’s May decision to rescind its opt-out policy for LGBT curricula violated parents’ right to direct the religious instruction of their children.

The court concluded that, “the plaintiffs’ asserted due process right to direct their children’s upbringing by opting out of a public-school curriculum that conflicts with their religious views is not a fundamental right.”

Parents sought a preliminary injunction that would authorize opt-out options once school begins on August 28, which judge Deborah Boardman also denied: ......

The district’s LGBTQ curricula introduces pre-K through eighth grade students to “inclusivity” books that contain references to gay pride parades, gender transition, and pronoun preference. Teachers are instructed to lead classroom discussions about the books, which cite terms such as, “intersex,” “drag queen,” and “non-binary.” One book claims that doctors only “guess” when determining a newborn’s sex.

Wrong on so many levels, for example if gayness becomes required curriculum than is can become part of required homeschooling.

Remember when Bob Hope said, “I just flew in from California where they just made homosexuality legal. I figured I’d better get out before they made it mandatory.”

There must be a point where people will say, “I will not comply”. But that takes courage. Something most of the sheeple lack.

Close the public schools.

At this point they are doing far more damage to society than any good.

The leftists think the public schools are fine, and they control a majority of the public school system. Private or homeschool. About the only choices.

Seems pretty fundamental to me.

So, Dem voters, are you happy yet?
Left wants parents to have no say in their own children’s lives.

Also the Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing film has quotes about removing the male from the family and destroying the nuclear family as the starting point for Marxist strategy to conquer the US.

I see so many of stories like this. Come election, they vote for the same folks. At all levels of government. It’s a minority complaining or else they would vote differently or leave the state. I’m fed up with whiner stuff.

Requiring citizens to send their children to cult indoctrination kind of seems like a violation of something or other that I read that maybe might apply to the law or something:

Just take the kids out of the government indoctrination system, or stop whining about how the government treats its children...
