Religious Parents Appeal to Supreme Court Over Opt-Out Rights on Gender and Sexuality Education

Taylor, brings a legal challenge to the Montgomery County Board of Education’s decision to deny parents the ability to exempt their children from exposure to storybooks that include topics such as gender transitions and same-sex relationships.
