Judge Says Parents Can’t Opt Out of LGBTQ Lessons
August 25, 2023 | Maryland
Parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, who object to curriculum featuring LGBTQ books faced a setback Thursday when a federal judge ruled they can’t yet opt their children out of the lessons.
The motion, submitted by a group of parents on Aug. 9, sought a preliminary injunction, which would have allowed those parents to immediately pull their children from English lessons involving certain books that clash with the parents’ religious beliefs.
Absent the motion, which was denied by U.S. District Court Judge Deborah Boardman on Thursday, all students will participate in lessons as specified in the curriculum when returning to school on Monday. (Excerpt from NEWSMAX.)
