  • The parents, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, sued Montgomery County Public Schools in 2023 after the school district said it would no longer honor opt-out requests or notify families if a book referencing gender or sexuality would be read in class.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case from Maryland involving the rights of parents to opt their children out of reading books with LGBTQ+ content in Montgomery County Public Schools. This case stems from a policy change in March 2023, where the school district eliminated the opt-out provision for lessons involving such materials, arguing that these books are essential for fostering an inclusive environment. Parents, supported by groups like the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, argue that this policy infringes on their First Amendment rights to direct their children's education and religious upbringing. The case has garnered attention from various stakeholders, including the Biden administration, which has urged the court not to take up the case, highlighting the tension between parental rights and educational inclusivity.
