JUST IN: Supreme Court sides with parents seeking opt-outs from LGBTQ books in schools.
Another massive SCOTUS ruling just dropped.
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court just ruled in favor of a group of parents in Montgomery County, Md., who want to opt their kids out of classroom instruction using books with LGBTQ themes.
It’s another big win for religious rights advocates, who’ve repeatedly found support from the Court’s conservative majority.
Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the six Republican-appointed justices, delivered the key finding:
“These parents have earned at least a preliminary injunction."
“In the absence of an injunction, the parents will continue to be put to a choice: either risk their child’s exposure to burdensome instruction, or pay substantial sums for alternative educational services. As we have explained, that choice unconstitutionally burdens the parents’ religious exercise,”
