The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling allowing Maryland parents to opt their children out of reading LGBTQ+ books in public school. The Supreme Court ruled that Maryland parents who have religious objections can opt to remove their children from classes using LGBTQ+ storybooks in public school.

A group of parents sued Montgomery County Public Schools’ after they couldn’t opt their children out of LGBTQ+ lessons.

Parents argued that public elementary schools violated their religious freedoms by forcing kids to take part in LGBTQ+ lessons.

The storybooks included text and photos addressing sexual and gender identity of gay and transgender children.
