Maryland parents petition Supreme Court to restore opt-out right against LGBTQ-inclusive storybooks.

Maryland parents have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to restore their right to opt their children out of LGBTQ-inclusive storybooks in elementary schools. This follows a Montgomery County Board of Education policy change that eliminated the opt-out option for the 2023-2024 school year. The parents argue this infringes on their First Amendment rights and contradicts Maryland law, while the school board maintains that the policy promotes inclusivity and prevents stigma.
