(Standing For Freedom Center) A U.S. district court judge has refused to grant a temporary injunction to Maryland parents who sued Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), ruling that they do not have the right to opt their children out of lessons and books that violate their religious beliefs by teaching their children about romantic relationships, LGBTQ topics, and sexual themes, including bondage and prostitution.
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), the largest school district in Maryland, approved “over 22 LGBT+ inclusive texts for use in the classroom” last fall. The list includes books like Pride Puppy, which is read in MCPS preschools and takes the reader to an LGBTQ pride parade and teaches students words like intersex and drag king.
Other books include Uncle Bobby’s Wedding, which is about a girl’s uncle marrying another man; Intersection Allies: We Make Room for All, which has nine characters of different backgrounds who share their “collective struggle for justice”; Prince & Knight, which tells the story of a young male prince who works with a male knight to defeat a dragon and they get married; Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope, which is about a girl in elementary school that struggles to convince others she is a boy.
