WASHINGTON, DC (AP) – The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from Maryland parents who want to pull their children from elementary school classes that use books featuring LGBTQ characters. The justices said they will review an appeals court decision that went against parents in Montgomery County, Maryland. The parents claim the policy violates their constitutional religious rights by not allowing them to opt out of lessons that include the storybooks. The parents argue that public schools can’t force kids to participate in instruction that violates their faith. They note that the district originally allowed parents to pull their children when the storybooks were being taught, before abruptly reversing course.
