Parents Voice Concerns over School Board’s Membership Decision
- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Mahmoud v. Taylor that a Maryland school board's LGBTQ+-inclusive curriculum with a no-opt-out policy burdens parents' free exercise of religion.
- The case emerged after the Maryland school board eliminated its opt-out option, citing challenges in administering the policy, which led parents to file a lawsuit to defend their rights.
- Advocates for Faith & Freedom, a California-based nonprofit, responded by providing customizable, free legal opt-out forms to help parents exempt their children from LGBTQ+ instruction.

- The ruling reinforces constitutional protections for parental religious freedom but signals ongoing legal challenges as public schools may seek ways to limit its impact.
