4:38Now PlayingThe Supreme Court's recent decision effecting schools, parents and acknowledging the LGBTQ+ community backfires on them as data shows the majority of parents across the nation never actually wanted the ruling.

Supreme Court let parents opt kids out of learning about LGBTQ+ people. Almost no one is doing it.
"The Supreme Court recently ruled that a Maryland school district must allow parents to opt their children out of instruction relating to LGBTQ+ identities, but only a minuscule number of families have actually done so.
Data from the Montgomery County School District, the largest in the state, shows that only 58 opt-out requests from 43 families have been submitted on religious grounds. With 160,000 students in the district, that means a measly 0.03% will be removed from the classroom when certain topics are discussed.
The report shows that oftentimes, the anti-LGBTQ+ forces fighting to ban books and anti-discrimination policies from schools across the country are a loud but very small minority."
