SCOTUS Upholds Religious Freedom in LGBT Curriculum Case

On paper, the state of Maryland provides some of the strongest protections for parental notice and opt-out rights in the country. State law requires public school systems to “provide an opportunity for parents/guardians to view instructional materials to be used in the teaching of family life and human sexuality objectives” and to provide an opportunity for parents to opt their children out of such instruction.

But one school district in the state has seemingly ignored this law, choosing instead to prioritize its own political agenda. Now, parents from many different backgrounds are standing up for their right to direct their children’s religious development.
