New SCOTUS Brief Centers on Parental Rights

A new amicus brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court argues that parents should have the right to decide that their kids do not have to attend radical LGBTQ indoctrination classes at public schools in Maryland.

The brief was filed in conjunction with the case Tamer Mahmoud v. Thomas W. Taylor, which focuses on the extreme gender and sexuality program of the Montgomery County, Md., Public School District (MCPS). Some sane parents want to opt their kids out of the program, but it’s mandatory, and the case has gone to the Supreme Court. America First Legal (AFL) has joined the legal battle to support concerned parents and to protect children from the wokies’ sexualization.

In a March 11 press release, AFL explained that it, along with co-counsel Christopher Mills, had filed an amicus brief in the Mahmoud v. Taylor case with the Supreme Court.

AFL argues:

MCPS’ radical sexuality and gender identity curriculum do not align with the historical roots of valuable education for children.

The school district disregards parental notice and opt-out rights violating statutory and constitutional requirements.

MCPS wrongfully exposes young students to highly controversial sex and gender identity indoctrination, promoting disputed opinions as fact without allowing discussion or acknowledging dissent and disagreement.

On October 16, 2024, AFL filed a separate amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear this case.

As AFL stated, parents do, in fact, have a Constitutional right to oversee their children’s education, including the right to refuse to have their kids indoctrinated based on their religious or other deeply held convictions.
