The federal appeals court ruled that religious parents in Maryland cannot opt their kids out of classroom lessons involving LGBTQ+-inclusive books, stating that the parents failed to demonstrate how the books would be used.
The court upheld a lower court decision, affirming that the parents did not meet the very high burden required to obtain a preliminary injunction, emphasizing the lack of evidence presented regarding the use of the books in lessons.
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, representing the parents, plans to appeal, criticizing the court's decision that undermines parents' rights to be involved in their children's education and opt out of material that contradicts their faith.
