On Thursday, a federal court ruled that parents in Maryland do not have a right to opt their children out of classes which teach pro-LGBT curriculum.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, the group of parents had filed a lawsuit against Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), demanding that the district revive a policy that allowed them to pull their children out of classes that discussed books and other materials featuring LGBT characters. The policy was first enacted in January but then repealed in March.
“The Court concludes 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,” Judge Deborah L. Boardman wrote in her ruling. Boardman was appointed by Joe Biden to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
Such parental opt-out policies became a staple of the parents’ rights movement that began in 2021, when grassroots groups began protesting at school board meetings, demanding greater authority for parents when it comes to public education regarding controversial topics such as transgenderism and critical race theory. While some policies have been implemented in states like Virginia, more Democratically-controlled states like Maryland have actively resisted such efforts.
Another policy that has been championed by the parents’ rights movement is the required notification of parents when their child decides to become transgender at school. Blue states have doubled down on transgenderism, with many of them requiring their schools to keep such information secret from the parents, and to allow the child to freely “transition” while at school.
When schools within blue states try to resist these policies, they face lawsuits from the state government. In New Jersey, three school districts that have defied the state-mandated policy of keeping parents out of the loop have since been sued by state Attorney General Matthew Platkin (D-N.J.). Governor Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) has defended his attorney general’s actions, calling it “the American way.”
If I recall what I’ve read elsewhere about this ruling it was that the parents did not have standing and could not show their children had suffered harm from the policy. I could be wrong on that, but I don’t think the option of withdrawing students was part of the ruling.
We need our Own Homeland !
Pray for the Downfall of this Evil Regime !
Take your precious children out of the public schools, now. No excuse has any merit why you wouldn’t. Sacrifice YOUR THINGS or sacrifice your child.
“state controlled compulsory education”
It was always a very dangerous idea—at this point public schools are part of the problem and not part of the solution.
From Wikipedia:
‘On June 10, 2021, her nomination was reported out of committee by an 11–10 vote, with Senator Lindsey Graham voted “present”. On June 23, 2021, the United States Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 52–48 vote. Her nomination was confirmed later that day by a 52–48 vote.’
Platform of the Democrat party? Sick.
Congress needs to impeach Judge Deborah L. Boardman and removed her from the bench. But pussy Republicans will not do they duty to defend the Constitution from domestic enemies.
I know.
There’s nothing that can be done about that.
Judge is mentally deficient for suggesting religion is the only source of morality. This avoids the difference of how the Muslims in the US treat LGQBT practitioners (throw off of rooftops) compared to the Mormons with multiple wives, for example.
America is dead.
It’s getting to the point where putting your kids in public school is basically guaranteeing that they’ll be groomed by perverts.
Americans won’t fight. They will comply. When the orders come to show up at the chambers to reduce carbon & save the planet, most will comply.
The Americans you speak of are now a small minority.
So how young does this gay-trans brainwashing begin? First grade? That’s my guess. This along with forced vaccinations that come with high rates of making children autistic.
How many queers are seated on that court?
The parents can opt out of the school system altogether, which is what they should do anyway.
That will be the least of her problems if she does not repent.
Sin angers Him on general principle but this sin is especially hateful to Him and is expressly singled out for an exceptionally severe judgment.
