The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Friday that religious parents can remove their children from elementary school classes that use books with LGBTQ+ themes. The case, Mahmoud v. Taylor, involved parents from different religions, including Catholics and Muslims, who sued the Montgomery County, Maryland, public school board.
According to HuffPost, the parents were upset when the school district removed a policy that let them pull their children out of class when books with LGBTQ+ characters were used for teaching. They argued the new policy violated their religious freedom to teach their own values to their children.
