'Growing heat': Sotomayor spars with Alito during LGBTQ classroom books case

Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor snapped at each other during Tuesday's arguments over parental rights in LGBTQ curriculum after the liberal justice attempted to jump back into the questioning as Alito was speaking.

The short quarrel happened as the high court listened to arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which a coalition of parents sought to solidify the right to be informed about and opt their children out of reading LGBTQ-related material in elementary schools — which they argue conflicts with their faith.

"There is a growing heat to the exchanges between the justices. Sotomayor just tried to disagree with Alito's portrayal and Alito pushed back and asked to allow him to finish," Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley observed on X.

As arguments wrapped, the Supreme Court appeared inclined to agree with the parents.

Alito also questioned the content of several of the books raised in the appeal dealing with same-sex marriage.

"I don't think anybody can read that and say: well, this is just telling children that there are occasions when men marry other men," said Alito. "It has a clear moral message, and it may be a good message. It's just a message that a lot of religious people disagree with."

Parents rights and religious groups counter impressionable children should not be forced to participate in reading activities that undermine their families' teachings and spirituality. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, representing the parents who sued, called the school policy "compelled instruction."
