US supreme court rules schools must let kids opt out of hearing LGBTQ+ books

[Ms. Toad]

1. So I guess that means parents can opt their children

Out of learning the law (same gender marriage, that sexual harassment laws also prohibit harassment in the workplace on the basis of sexuality.

Probably they can even opt their children out of hearing stories about interracial marriages, since religion was an early reason for rejecting those, as well. Maybe they can even demand a separate classroom, since integration was also claimed to be based on religion.

When you start allowing children to opt out of exposure to things which are legal (and which it is unconstitutional to make legal), there is little basis to enforce the laws against someone who claims a faith based objection.

(Disclaimer: unlike usually with I comment, I have not yet read the decision - just speaking in disgust for the concept of allowing parents to opt their children to things which expose their children to things which are legal, but with which they disagree.)
