flag Montgomery County schools to pay $1.5M after Supreme Court rules parents can opt out of LGBT-themed classroom materials.

flag Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland will pay $1.5 million to parents after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld parents' constitutional right to opt their children out of LGBT-themed classroom materials, including books promoting gender transition and same-sex relationships, if those materials conflict with their religious beliefs. flag The decision, stemming from a 2022 lawsuit by Muslim, Jewish, and Christian parents, required the district to provide advance notice—via email before each grading period—of all instructional content with LGBT themes, allowing families to withdraw their children and receive alternative assignments. flag The settlement, approved by federal judge Deborah L. Boardman, mandates transparency and parental control over such content, affirming that parents—not school officials—have the final say in their children’s education. flag The district has not yet commented.
