No injunction issued in MCPS LGBTQ+ books lawsuit

[i]Boardman issued her ruling Thursday, accompanied by a 60-page memorandum shedding light on her legal justification for denying the plaintiffs’ motion.

“This case involves objections to a public-school curriculum,” the memorandum reads. “The Fourth Circuit has not addressed the question of when a mandatory public-school curriculum might burden the religious exercise of students or parents. Other courts have. Every court that has addressed the question has concluded that the mere exposure in public school to ideas that contradict religious beliefs does not burden the religious exercise of students or parents.”

Boardman’s memorandum continues:
 “The parents still may instruct their children on their religious beliefs regarding sexuality, marriage, and gender, and each family may place contrary views in its religious context. No government action prevents the parents from freely discussing the topics raised in the storybooks with their children or teaching their children as they wish.” [/i][/quote]

“With the new school year beginning, the case is on the fast track to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals—and the parents plan to appeal the decision.”

We'll see what the Supreme Court says.[/quote]
