The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Tuesday in the first of two cases in April involving religion and public schools. In Mahmoud v. Taylor a coalition of parents from Montgomery County, Md., contend that requiring their children to participate in instruction that includes LGBTQ+ themes violates their religious beliefs and thus their First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion.

        No, because the themes are tolerance and inclusion. Their children should be forced to learn those values in the context of sexual identity. They should be taught that their parents are bigots.

          Sorry best that will do is get parents to claim you are kidnapping children, indoctrinating them into our way of thinking and get whatever group that does such called groomers every day until it stops. Only creating more division.

          It should never be forced. It should be optional that the parents can refuse to allow their kids to go, and then let the parents go back to not paying any attention to their kids education just like they never were before. And slowly people will get back to learning tolerance and inclusion because politicians aren’t screaming nonsense about education once they are done “winning.”

            Gotcha, tolerate their intolerance. Isn’t that how we got the current regime?

            Also, kids won’t be taught tolerance and inclusion but will somehow learn it despite being raised in an environment of intolerance and exclusion? Gtfo with that bullshit
