parents won.

If you don't want your kid to learn about science or see female teachers, then you can keep your kids at home, just like these parents.

No no the SC says that my kid can opt out of anything I find religiously objectionable. That includes female teachers. The school must make a male-only space for mg child.

No, SCOTUS said they can keep the kids home. You can too.

MCPS’ argument here was that it is excessively burdensome to notify every time a potentially objectionable book would be read and then to accommodate those who are opting out. The effect of this is going to be they just stop including these books.

But how will our kids survive without having "Pride Puppy" read aloud to them??

He is deleting way more than that.

And that mentality is why MCPS gets sued.

Not everyone wants curriculum choices driven by the lowest common denominator of what doesn’t bother nutjobs

I think the nutjobs are the ones who want pre-K children taught that doctors "guess" whether it's a boy or girl when a baby is born.

However MCPS accomplishes this, SCOTUS ruling states that parents can keep their kids home, ie, excused absence.

So, those people claiming that this is the same as their religion teaching that the earth is flat or females should not be teachers can also keep their kids at home.

FWIW, I don't care if my kids read books about how Uncle Billy married Tom, or that Betty is now Billy.

But, I know that other very religious people do object to that type of teaching. It's no different than parents keeping their kids at home when a class celebrates Halloween. I know, I know... some schools aren't allowed to celebrate Halloween due to some religious nuts. But, our very liberal school did.

If parents want to keep their kids home because they object to this or that, they will be pulling their kids out a lot, to their own detriment because who is going to be home watching these kids?

So the ruling is that the kids stay home MCPS doesn't have to provide and alternate location for them during this time... is that correct?

Late to the game here. So the main implication is that parents can keep kids home on the days any LGBTQ books are read? I'm a teacher and my worry is that schools will have to figure out a place for kids to be during that particular lesson. But heck yeah, if parents want to keep their kids home, then fine. I'll plan to do same sex family read alouds every Friday and the horrible families can find childcare for 20% of the year. Hope it bankrupts them.

Thank you for that clarification

I still don’t see how this is going to work. Mcps 4th grader social studies teaches the kids what it means to be “two spirited”.
This isn’t shared with parents beforehand or even after.

This was my question too. The original ask was for MCPS to find and alternate lesson for the kids during this time, but if they are to stay home "unexcused"... I'd read same sex books every day.
