Alan Schoenfeld: “Pride Puppy was the book that was used for the pre-kindergarten curriculum. That’s no longer in the curriculum.”

Justice Gorsuch: “That’s the one where they’re supposed to look for the leather and things – bondage – – things like that.

Justice Kavanaugh:

Kavanaugh is spot on!

20 years ago, LGBT activists screamed “leave us alone, let us live our private lives.”

Today, it’s “you will bake me the cake, and you will force your children to sit through our curriculum, regardless of your religious beliefs.”

Justice Kavanaugh questioned how banning parent opt-outs from LGBTQ books can be squared with Maryland’s long tradition of religious liberty.

“They’re not asking you to change what’s taught in the classroom. They’re only seeking to be able to walk-out so their children aren’t exposed to things that are contrary to their own beliefs.”

Huge statement from Kavanaugh:

Kavanaugh: Maryland was founded on religious liberty – a haven for Catholics in England fleeing prosecution. I’m surprised that this is the hill we’re going to die on given this state history.

Schoenfeld: There may be different ways to handle…

At the Supreme Court, Justice Kavanaugh pressed Montgomery County on its refusal to let parents opt out of radical sex-ed books. Their intolerance is so extreme, they even lost Justice Kagan. This case should be a 9–0 slam dunk for parental rights. pic.twitter.com/w6LQAQmHV0

Supreme Court appears poised to rule for parents who objected to LGBTQ content in elementary schools

Some parents in Montgomery County, Md., say they have a religious right to ensure their children aren’t exposed to LGBTQ books in the classroom.

Supreme Court to hear arguments on LGBTQ books in elementary schools

By Lawrence Hurley, NBC News, April 22, 2025:

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared likely to rule for parents in Maryland who objected on religious grounds to books made available in a school district’s elementary schools that feature stories about gay and transgender characters.

Members of the 6-3 conservative majority, which often backs religious rights, seemed sympathetic during the lively 2½-hour oral argument toward the parents’ claims that the Montgomery County Board of Education violated their religious rights by failing to provide an opt-out for their children.

Some justices indicated that the board’s refusal to provide an opt-out might have been motivated by hostility toward religion. A ruling is due by the end of June.

At issue are books included in the English language arts curriculum in Montgomery County. The dispute arose in 2022 after the school board in the large and diverse jurisdiction just outside Washington decided it wanted more storybooks reflecting LGBTQ stories to better reflect the people who live there.

One book, “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding,” features a gay character who is getting married. Another, called “Born Ready,” is about a transgender child who wants to identify as a boy.

Some parents, including Christians, Jews and Muslims, objected on religious grounds under the Constitution’s First Amendment, saying their children should be able to opt out of any exposure to the content.
