I have they will lose .
It is the worst written lawsuit. The lawyers on the side of the religious zealots should lose their license because of how bad they wrote their side.
It is religious garbage. Worse than that they want add religious indoctrination into public schools.

How is this impacting their long-fought rights? What about my rights? This would be a win-win for everyone.
Seriously? You can't figure that out?
Nope, that’s why I’m asking. I have the right to keep my elementary age kid away from this garbage.
What garbage? The fact 2 women marry?
One of the books is a character that questions their gender and changes it from their gender at birth.

What about opting out of books with interracial couples?
If it’s against someone’s religious beliefs then of course.

It quickly becomes chaos. Opt kids out of evolution in biology, books in English, topics in history.
Things parents can opt up their kids out of:
Sex Ed
Field Trips
Required Vaccinations (and I’m not talking about COVID)
Dissections
Attendance on religious holidays
Class parties
Saying the Pledge of Allegiance
Watching R-rated movies for instructional purposes
MAP tests
It seems to me that we allow parents to opt their children out of a great many things. Why is this the exception where parents rights become irrelevant?
Because these opt-outs don’t require a replacement. Having a second curriculum is a different animal.

Except the kids being opted out are the ones that need to know it’s ok and normal to be gay or be part of a gay family.
You know what my kids conversations are on this very issue, they don't care that you're gay, they don't care who you kiss, they don't want to talk about it because they don't want to talk about sex stuff. It's really that simple for kids, you just don't get it. Why are we overcomplicating kids, if they don't want to be part of it I'm sure they have genuine feelings why that is, and their feelings matter just as much as the LGBT kids' feelings matter.

Here’s the thing, no one is talking to a. Kindergarten about sex. They may read “and tango makes three” which is a lovely book based on a true story that provides representation that families aren’t all the traditional nuclear family of a mom, dad, and two kids. Once you start banning curriculum of any sort everything becomes objectionable. Why is it ok to teach a book that has a mom and a dad but not one that has two moms?
Parents can already opt out of sex Ed. Leave it there.

Opting out means a teacher will never use the material. They would need to have an alternate lesson for that student and also an alternate supervised spot for them to be.
