A coalition of Muslims, Jews, Christians, twenty-five states, parents, and legal scholars asked the Supreme Court yesterday to ensure that parents can opt their children out of storybooks that push one-sided ideology on gender and sexuality. In Mahmoud v. Taylor, the Montgomery County Maryland Board of Education took away parental notice and opt-outs for storybooks that celebrate gender transitioning, pride parades, and pronoun preferences with kids as young as three and four. Becket represents Muslim, Christian, and Jewish parents who challenged the ban on elementary school opt-outs in federal court last year.
