I’m writing this post on Tuesday night, and I wanted to highlight a Supreme Court case that started on Tuesday. It’s a case to decide whether parents in Maryland – a Democrat-run state – can opt their young children out of LGBT indoctrination, at the hands of the schools. As it stands, parents don’t even have to be notified.

Here’s an article in Daily Signal, written by Tiffany Justice, the Moms for Liberty co-founder. She writes about the “Mahnoud v. Taylor” SCOTUS case that started on Tuesday.

She writes:

Since 2022, Montgomery County schools have used books like “Pride Puppy!” and “Born Ready” for children as young as 3. These aren’t simple stories about kindness. They introduce complex ideas—gender transitions, Pride events, pronoun choices—that often conflict with the religious and cultural values of diverse families.

Initially, the school board promised parental notification and opt-outs, but in March 2023, it eliminated these options, leaving parents like Tamer Mahmoud, a Muslim father, with an impossible choice: expose their kids to material they find inappropriate or leave public schools.

Supporters of the policy argue it promotes inclusivity, but true inclusion respects differences, not silences them. These books don’t just “teach tolerance”; they advocate a worldview that embraces “nonbinary” identities and gender fluidity, often ignoring whether young children can process such ideas.

When these ideas are presented in the context of “being inclusive,” it means children are inherently pressured not to examine or think critically about these notions but to embrace them.

What I find interesting about these cases, where goverment monopolies decide that they know more than the people who pay their salaries, is that there is no opt-out. So, the people who pay for public schools and school boards have real degrees and real jobs. They work hard to learn math, then they get their STEM degrees, then they go work in the competitive private sector.

But when they have to send their kids to school, they find the system is run by people who never learned math, never got STEM degrees, and never worked in the private sector. It’s those people who want to indoctrinate children with their woke values.

So, do the STEM degree fathers get an opt-out of paying taxes for this system? No, they don’t. They have to pay the taxes. And their children have to be indoctrinated. There is no opt-out.

In fact, asking for an opt-out will get you branded as a hater:

Worse, school board members have suggested that allowing opt-outs encourages “hate,” casting sincere beliefs as prejudice. This isn’t a conversation—it’s an accusation.

I don’t think that I need to remind anyone about how the Loudon County school board in Virginia worked with the Biden government to label all parents who object to the mandatory sexualization of children as “domestic terrorists”. And again, it’s the parents who pay their salaries.

What’s interesting about this case is that it is an appeal of a decision by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. That decision went against the parents. Do you see why it is so important for Christians to vote conservative at election time? There are so many of these fake ERLC  / woke “Christians” out there telling people to worry about Democrat priorities, and vote for Democrats. What does it get you? It gets you school boards and schools that indoctrinate your children in sexual anarchy. Therefore, vote wisely.
