The US Supreme Court on Friday delivered another win for America.
In a 6-3 decision the high court on Friday ruled that parents can opt out of classes with LGBTQ books.
In 2022, a Maryland county approved LGBTQ-themed books for elementary school children to bring ‘diversity’ to school districts.
One of the books approved was titled, “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding” – a book about a gay wedding. Other books approved by the radical school board pushed gender transition onto children.
A Muslim couple and members of Catholic and Orthodox churches sued so they can opt their children out of the classes that push the LGBTQ indoctrination.

The Supreme Court on Friday bolstered religious rights as it ruled in favor of parents who objected to LGBTQ-themed books that a Maryland county approved for use in elementary school classrooms.
In a 6-3 vote, the court backed the parents’ claim that the Montgomery County Board of Education’s decision not to allow an opt-out option for their children violated their religious rights under the Constitution’s First Amendment, which protects religious expression.
“The board’s introduction of the ‘LGBTQ+ inclusive’ storybooks, along with its decision to withhold opt-outs, places an unconstitutional burden on the parents’ rights to the free exercise of their religion,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court.
The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority that is often receptive to religious claims. The liberal justices dissented.
“The result will be chaos for this nation’s public schools,” liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion.
“Given the great diversity of religious beliefs in this country, countless interactions that occur every day in public schools might expose children to messages that conflict with a parents’ beliefs,” she added.
