💨 Abstract

The U.S. Supreme Court signaled support for parents in Maryland who object on religious grounds to their children attending public school lessons featuring LGBTQ-themed storybooks. The Court suggested that the Montgomery County school district cannot force students to participate in these lessons if parents object. The case involves books like "Prince & Knight" and "Uncle Bobby’s Wedding," introduced by the district to reflect diversity. Initially, parents could opt out, but the school board later reversed this policy, leading to a lawsuit.
