Parents cannot force a school district to let them pull their children out of classes with LGBTQ themes, an appeals court has ruled.
Three sets of parents and a parental rights group sued the Montgomery County Public Schools board in Maryland after it announced the classes in 2022.
They claimed not being allowed to opt out their kindergarten to grade 5 children violated their First Amendment rights to freedom of religion.
But the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals denied their request for a preliminary injunction 2-1 as the parents failed to show how the policy would infringe their rights
The parents - one Muslim, one Christian, and one Chinese - objected to their children being exposed to themes they said conflicted with their religions.
The English language arts curriculum reading list included books like Uncle Bobby's Wedding, The Pride Puppy, and Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope.
Litigants insisted it was up to them to teach their kids 'what it means to be male and female; the institution of marriage; human sexuality; and related themes'.
What their children learn should be decided by them, not the schools, they argued, also claiming the subject matter was too mature for young children.
Two of the three judges disagreed, ruling the mere exposure of children to ideas against their faith was not by itself contrary to the First Amendment.
Children learning about issues they disagree with is 'part of the compromise parents make when choosing to send their children to public schools', they wrote.

I tell you all what. Those three need to run in next election for Board of Education in next election and we need to support them. YES I said that, even the Muslim. Kudos to that person for doing what all Christians should be doing and going against the alphabet gang.
We were just talking about this two days ago.
It's what the state advocates, not merely mentions.
Some people on FR wet their pants when one suggests that muslims are not as big a threat as the political Left, but it’s true.
One can exclude muslim culture from altering traditional liberalism by simply controlling immigration, but we are stuck with the modern political Left (who are already here with large numbers).
Take them out.
No parents are going to win against the nea blob. It is wack a mole.
Starve it.
Optimal time.
They got what they likely voted for.
The State has an interest in destroying the family.
Seems like it was just yesterday that the Dims claimed it was a conspiracy theory that they taught the LGBQWERTY mess to kids.
Do whatever it takes, even start a GOFUNDME if needed, to get your children out of public school.
“For this reason, We made it a law for the children of Israel that the killing of a person for reasons other than legal retaliation or for stopping corruption in the land is as great a sin as murdering all of mankind. However, to save a life would be as great a virtue as to save all of mankind..”
Quran: 5/32
I’ll bet that if the parents relented with the condition that they’re children could bring up the various deleterious health hazards of the queer lifestyle, they kids would be told NO!
“Some people on FR wet their pants when one suggests that muslims are not as big a threat as the political Left, but it’s true.”
Yet it was the Muslims who stood up to the queers in Hamtramck, Michigan and told them they could NOT fly their queer flag on city property!!!
Remember that? So the queers started making out in front of the Muslims at City Hall!
Oh Gee sounds like Mayor Amer Ghalib is more American than most Christians.
Pull your children out of the indoctrination centers that teach kids to hate America, hate normalcy, and encourage perversions.
I wonder if someone poorly translated that verse.
I mean really it has happened before.
Replace the word “Isreal” with “LGBTQ” then read it again.
The problem with running for elections is that the politicians have rigged the elections so that you have to file to run for office 6-9 months before the election. The good news is that many of these extremely early deadlines have been ruled unconstitutional by the courts.
The 900 pound gorilla is the pervasiveness and aggressive nature of homosexuality. Despite their mental illness only being a small fraction of the normal population, they are having an outsized effect on us and our children and our culture.
Look at Disney: despite losing money, they continue to push gay-themed cartoons, movies, paraphernalia - it’s obviously not done for profit.
It’s infiltration by aggressive groomers.
Protect our children and fight back!
“No parents are going to win against the nea blob. It is wack a mole.”
DUDE! Never say Never~~~
Last election the entire state of West Virginia went from being full of Democrats to Republicans. That has not happened for what? 100 years, maybe longer? All my life this state has been ran by Democrats then all of the sudden BOOM and everyone went to the polls and all the republicans won every office.
I kinda know what caused it in my state. It’s just a matter of what it do it to Maryland to make them angry enough to boot the Demorats.
Did the nation vote for BiteMe...?
Read my comment 13. THe muslims got in at Hamtramck, Michigan thus there are no queer flags flying.
