Supreme Court Rules Parents Can Opt Out of LGBTQ Content in Schools

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that parents can opt their children out of LGBTQ-themed books in schools, citing religious freedom concerns, a decision that critics say could create chaos in public education by requiring advance notice and opt-outs for various lessons. The ruling stems from a case involving Montgomery County, Maryland, where parents challenged the school's inclusion of such books in the curriculum.
