A Federal Court Denies Maryland Parents an Opt-Out Policy for LGBTQ Books"...The Board cannot refuse parents who want to opt their children out of instruction that violates their religious beliefs on sensitive matters ... The Supreme Court has held that children are not wards of the state, and that parents have the right to make key decisions about the education of their children on such critical matters concerning family life and human sexuality..." -Becket Law

When the board announced that the school would begin using the "Pride storybooks," it promised parents that they would be notified when the books would be read and that they could choose not to have their children read them. But in March of this year, the board told parents that they would not be notified when the books were used and that they could no longer have their children opt out...
