Muslim, Christian parents sue Montgomery County schools to opt out of mandatory ‘pride’ storybooks
The federal lawsuit asks the court to immediately block the “no notice, no opt-out” standard slated to go into effect for the 2023-24 academic year, a policyin March after the district approved 22 “LGBTQ+ inclusive texts” for grades pre-K through 8 designed to promote “inclusivity.”
“Despite faith differences, these parents believe the new storybooks are age-inappropriate, spiritually and emotionally damaging for kids and inconsistent with their religious beliefs and sound science,” the Becket release states. “The lawsuit seeks to restore their ability to help their own children on such complex and sensitive issues.
The lawsuit argued that the school board’s “recent about-face strips away this long-standing protection of parental rights.” The “Pride Storybooks” are about more than rainbow uniforms, said the filing, going beyond teaching kindness and respect by promoting “an ideological view of family life and sexuality that characterizes any divergent beliefs as ‘hurtful.’”
