Schools are pushing LGBTQ books on kids. Supreme Court should side with parents. | Opinion

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments April 22 in Mahmoud v. Taylor, a case that raises vital First Amendment questions about who decides what young children should learn about sensitive matters such as gender identity and sexuality.
54% : Luckily, for the families, the court in recent years has ruled consistently in favor of religious liberty and free speech.
54% : The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is representing families in the case, is defending parents' rights to direct the religious teachings their children receive.
50% : "Here you're basically putting parents in a position where they have to choose between public schools or their religious beliefs," Eric Baxter, vice president and senior counsel at Becket, told me recently.
49% : The main question up for debate by the court is the following: "Do public schools burden parents' religious exercise when they compel elementary school children to participate in instruction on gender and sexuality against their parents' religious convictions and without notice or opportunity to opt out?" It seems like the answer to that should be a resounding "Yes!," considering recent Supreme Court decisions that strongly upheld both free speech and religious liberty.
43% : Rather, they introduce children to ideas such as gender transitioning, pronoun preferences and pride parades.
23% : Trump should avoid Biden's.
