Show Notes
In Mahmoud v. Taylor the Supreme Court affirmed parents rights to remove their children from LGBTQ material used in public schools.
The Court ruled that opt-outs preserve separation of church and state, and protect parental rights.
The Dissent maintains that exposure is not the same thing as indoctrination, and opt-outs are at best going to be an administrative nightmare, at worst a religious veto on acceptable content.
Anastasia Boden of PLF joins to discuss.
