The Supreme Court sided on Friday with a group of Maryland parents who argued that preventing them from opting their children out of LGBT curriculum infringed on their religious freedom rights. The 6-3 ruling from the high court marked the latest win for religious liberty advocates handed down by the justices this term.

The US Supreme Court has sided with parents in the state of Maryland who wanted to opt their children out of reading books with LGBTQ themes. The justices voted 6-3 in support of the group of parents who said a curriculum adopted in 2022 by the Montgomery County Public Schools for elementary age children violated their religious rights.

Justice Sotomayor dissented from the ruling, saying the 'result will be chaos for this nation’s public schools.'
