Washington – On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will consider the challenge of Maryland’s parents to the policy of their local school board, which refuses to choose the ability to choose from their primary school-old children’s identity and sexual attitude.
A group of families and Montgomery County Education Board are in the court fighting in the court fighting that public schools violate the right to free the first amendment of the parents when they have to take part in their children’s gender and sexuality that violates the religious beliefs of families.
“The long-recognized parents’ rights between our laws and traditions are at risk to instruct our laws and their children to the law and their children’s religious education and nurturing for religious freedom.” “The government cannot interfere enough with the compulsory guidance on sensitive sex and gender identity, which hit the center of parents’ decision-making authority regarding basic religious importance.”
The forty-seven states and Columbia district allow the parents’ opt-outs or the students need opt-in before participating in sex education. According to the court papers, the requests for the parents on religious objections to the classroom direction or activities were not “very frequent or burdened”, and the Opt-out policy of the parents’ home Montgomery County, the largest public school system in Maryland, also had an opt-out policy for parents.
After the implementation of the rules for promoting the “educational equity”, the Montgomery County Education Board launched “LGBBTUU-UND” stories for its English language arts curriculum for primary school students. The district says that it complements his language art book with a handful of “a handful of stories” to represent all Montgomery County family. In the five books that are included in this case, a Hijra is a “Prince and Knight” and “Prince and Knight” about Prince and Knight.
The board accepted the lesson in 2022, but allowed parents to be involved in the story book and allow their children to choose from instructions. However, in March 2021, the Montgomery County School Board announced that families would no longer get advanced notice on when the books would be read and their children would not be able to forgive.
In the case of the board, the board said that opts were “void”, because some schools were missing and all were “sufficient barriers” in using books while respecting the opt-out requests, because teachers have to plan to remove from class and plan for alternative activities for them.
However, the decision caused a response to the community-more than a thousand parents signed a petition that called for the board to restore the notice and recover the opt-outs, and dozens of their religious beliefs protested the books at the board meeting. The School Board then amends its religious diversity guidelines to restrict the situation when students can forgive at the buyer’s activities or free-time events that oppose their family’s religious practice.
A group of three families filed a lawsuit against the Montgomery County Education Board, the notice that the Opt-Outs had violated their rights to enforce their religion under the first amendment because it exceeded the freedom to give their children religious reward. The families that – Muslims, Roman Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox – they wanted to ban initial orders that require the opportunity to provide advance notice to the school board and to choose from their children’s books.
However, a federal district judge in Maryland denied the request, finding out that no unnecessary policy was burdened with the religious practice of the family. Parents’ disability to forgive their children from the guidance of their children with the story book does not force their religious beliefs, the court has discovered, as they can still teach their children’s views about IC’s belief in sexuality, marriage and gender.
In the Appellate Court of the US court for the 4th circuit, the divided panel of three judges also found that there was no burden on the free practice of the families because they had no evidence to change their religious beliefs or behavior.
The families asked the Supreme Court to review that decision and the High Court in January Agreed to do this. The Trump administration is supporting parents in the case, arguing that the board has imposed the parents on religious practices by violating their religious beliefs or pre -public education.
In the case of the High Court, the lawyers on behalf of the parents also said that Montgomery County was presenting an “impossible” choice of them.
They said, “They said,” their children must be directed to disrupt their religious beliefs or to renounce the benefits of a public education by expenditure on private schools, homeskilling, or government fines and fines. “
Furthermore, they argued that the notice was postponed and opt-out “Topsi-Terv Classification” where a 14-year-old sex education could be deprived of instructions on gender and sexuality, but a 4-year-old English language arts arts curriculum had to sit through the same instruction.
Families also said that at least one member of the board showed religious hostility towards them, claiming that they compared them to “white domination” and “genophobes”.
Bocket’s lawyer to the families, Obrian, says Montgomery County’s policy is unique because of “extreme”. Although it could be an external, he said that an important step in the decision for the parents is to “breathe life in the already established policy that parents have a fundamental right under the practice of free practice to direct their child’s religious nurturing.”
“States can not interfere with it with government schools and children under the age of 3 and 4,” she said.
However, the school system said that its teachers were clearly forbidden from using books to press students to change their religious beliefs and argued that when it tried to adjust parents’ requests to choose out of their children’s instructions, it eventually became “unexpectedly disrupted”.
Lawyers of the school district also argued that parents who were in contact with the contents that parents objected to religious practices were not involuntarily forcibly forced to deny their religious practices.
They said parents were punished for their religious beliefs, were asked to confirm their beliefs against their beliefs, or did not give any evidence that they were forbidden to engage in religious practice.
The School Board also warned that the parents’ argument that their religious practice had been imposed on could have a harmful impact on public education.
“The submission of applicants ‘theory will not only violate the constitutional text, history and the Nazir, but the court has been recognized for a long time -‘ Leave public education to ‘whom parents have the right to pick and choose their children’ with the right to choose and choose. “
The American Civil Liberties Union also states that under parents’ claims, public school families may request for exemption from the array of curriculum due to their religious beliefs, including objections to the lesson of the largest historical personality that contains LGBBTU.
ACLU lawyers wrote in a filing, “Briefly, they can disrupt public schools that they or their parents can be abusive for religious reasons to relieve public schools, effectively forcing them to combine their educational materials with separate students and/or their parents’ religious beliefs.
A Supreme Court decision is expected in early July.
