A federal appeals court ruled that parents in Maryland have no right to be informed when their children are being instructed with LGBTQ materials or to opt their children out of that instruction.
The legal advocacy group Becket Law, which is representing the parents challenging the Montgomery County Board of Education, said that the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s ruling.
The firms said the ruling means that parents of children enrolled at Montgomery County Public Schools “have no right to be notified or opt their kids out of” materials that teach transgenderism and other sexual ideologies.
Becket, which specialises in religious freedom cases, said the parents had objected to their children being exposed to books that included materials that “champion pride parades, gender transitioning, and pronoun preferences for children”.
