SCOTUS Chooses to Protect Children
Yesterday’s Supreme Court rulings reflect the order of things.
Among today’s Supreme Court rulings, two stand out because they recognize and affirm the dignity and protection of children. One ruling determines that parents do not have to allow their children to be exposed to harmful gender ideology and LGBTQ+ lifestyle lessons in schools while the other protects children from pornography.
In Mahmoud vs. Taylor, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of parents who wanted to opt out their children from instruction and stories that involve LGBTQ+ lifestyles and gender ideology. The parents called into question five “LGBTQ+ inclusive” books that were taught in grades K-5.
At first, the Montgomery County Board of Education gave the opt-out option to parents based on religious “beliefs and practices.” But after the board realized that most of the parents wanted to opt out, it claimed that the opt-out was interfering with instruction and the learning environment. (One would think that the education board would get the hint that nobody wants what they’re trying so hard to sell.)
