WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Courton Friday agreed to hear an appeal from parents in suburban Washington who want to pull their children from elementary school classes that use books featuring LGBTQ characters.
The justices will review an appeals court decision that went against parents in Montgomery County, Maryland. The parents claim that the policy violates their constitutional religious rights by not allowing them to opt out of lessons that include the storybooks.
The stories include a family’s attendance at a pride parade, a girl’s introduction to her uncle’s husband-to-be, a prince’s love for a knight amid their battle against a dragon, a girl’s anxiety about giving a valentine to another girl and a transgender boy’s decision to share his gender identity with his family.
