💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of parents in Maryland who oppose LGBTQ-themed storybooks in public schools, citing religious freedom. The decision, penned by Justice Alito, allows parents to opt their children out of lessons using such books. The case returns to a lower court but favors the parents. Critics warn it could lead to broader censorship and discrimination, while supporters see it as a victory for parental rights and religious freedom.
