Case Description
Do parents have a right to protect their pre-K and elementary school children from one-sided transgender ideological class sessions? So far, in Maryland, the state doesn’t think so in the case Mahmoud v. McKnight.
The plaintiffs are from a variety of faiths including Islam, Catholicism, and Orthodox Christianity. These parents have set a low bar, too—to be notified when controversial books emphasizing gender transition or transgender romance will be discussed so they can opt out. They were not asking that such books be banned.
Having lost at trial court and their injunctive relief request at the Fourth Circuit of Appeals, the Center filed an amicus brief in hopes the U.S. Supreme Court will reverse the lower courts’ decisions and defend the rights of parents to determine the education and welfare of their children.
