A Supreme Court decision allowing parents to opt out of storybooks that promote one-sided ideology on gender and sexuality has been praised by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
In a 6–3 decision on Mahmoud v. Taylor, the Montgomery County Board of Education, the Court on Friday ruled that a policy was unlawful when it removed parental notice and opt-outs for storybooks that celebrate gender transitioning, pride parades, and pronoun preferences with children as young as three and four.
“Parents have a right to direct their children’s education, especially regarding subjects that touch on faith and morals,” said Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of Fort Wayne–South Bend, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Religious Liberty.
