The Fight Over Gay Characters in Public Schools

Can You Opt Your Kids out of Storytime?

In Mahmoud v. Taylor the Supreme Court affirmed parents rights to remove their children from LGBTQ material used in public schools.

The Court ruled that opt-outs preserve separation of church and state, and protect parental rights.

The Dissent maintains that exposure is not the same thing as indoctrination, and opt-outs are at best going to be an administrative nightmare, at worst a religious veto on acceptable content.

Anastasia Boden of PLF joins to discuss.
