18:23Now PlayingA US District Court dismissed a request by parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, to allow their children to opt out of classes discussing LGBTQIA+ books, stating that the use of the storybooks did not cross the line from "permissible influence to potentially impermissible indoctrination." This decision followed the Montgomery County Public Schools' (MCPS) announcement of a more inclusive English/Language arts curriculum, which included books such as "Pride Puppy!" and "My Rainbow," sparking a public outcry and concerns about the age-appropriateness of the books. While some school principals initially allowed families to opt-out, the MCPS ended this option in March, leading to a lawsuit by three Muslim and Christian families who claimed that their religious freedom was violated. Eric Baxter, vice president of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, said, "The School Board should let kids be kids and let parents decide how and when to best educate their own children consistent with their religious beliefs." Meanwhile, David Fishback of PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) in Maryland applauded the decision, saying it could make a difference in the lives of children experiencing depression, suicide, and loneliness due to their sexual orientation and gender identity. The decision is a preliminary injunction, and the case is still pending a final decision.
