The Supreme Court is considering a significant case involving Montgomery County, Md. school districts and their LGBTQ+-inclusive curriculum. Religious parents who object to this curriculum, which includes children's books featuring gay and lesbian characters, are pressing for the right to opt out their children from classes. After a chaotic initial opt-out attempt, lawsuits ensued, arguing that exposure to conflicting ideas violates their religious rights. The case has sparked intense debate on parental rights, religious freedom, and educational policy in a diverse community.
Leading the charge for the religious parents was lawyer Eric Baxter, who got a grilling from the court's three liberal justices.
The religious parents then sued the school board alleging exposure to conflicting ideas violates their constitutional right to freely exercise their religion.
