À propos de cet audio
What a win for parents’ rights! In Mahmoud v Taylor, handed down last Friday, the Supreme Court affirmed in a 6 to 3 holding, that parents — not schools — have the last word on what their children are going to be taught.
The case focused on Maryland’s Montgomery County Board of Education. There, books with LGBTQ themes had been approved for primary school curricula. Some parents objected — but the board ultimately refused to allow them to opt their children out.
Justice Alito’s majority opinion made it clear the board’s approach didn’t pass constitutional muster, implicitly noting the irony of excluding religious parents’ views from the inclusive environment the board sought to encourage.
This ruling’s importance really cannot be overstated. The Supreme Court has made it clear: Schools may not impose views on America’s children that conflict with the views and values of their parents. Full stop.
