Authors and illustrators of conflicting children’s books LGBTQ+ on the center of Friday Supreme In a joint statement, the ruling undermined the decision “discriminatory and harmful”.
Judges decided 6-3 in Mahmoud v. Taylor What parents can exclude their children from the Maryland State School lessons, which contain the topics of homosexuality and transgenderism when they feel material conflicts with their religious faith. Parents who brought the lawsuit covered a number of religious layers: from Muslims to Christians of different denominations.
Maryland’s parents, who sued, stated in a petition to the Supreme Court that the Montgomery Council of State Schools presented books to its elementary school students who promoted “gender transitions, pride and same -sex novel”.
The parents stated that the school council initially allowed parents to choose their children from lessons related to these books, but then prevented the refusals. They also said that the availability of books created by “indirect pressure to abandon religious practice”, which created enough burden to violate their right to religious freedom.

The authors and illustrators of the books mentioned in the court case responded to the terrible A letter.
“As the authors and illustrators of the books indicated in Mahmoud v. TaylorWe believe that the Supreme Court ruling threatens students’ access to different books and undermines the efforts of teachers to create safe, inclusive classes. Treatment of children’s books about LGBTQ+ characters differently than such books about non-lgbtq+ characters, discriminatory and harmful. This decision will inevitably lead to an increasingly hostile climate for students and families of LGBTQ+ and will create a less welcoming environment for all students, ”they said.
Claiming that such books not only make children feel more presented, but also teach children “how to share their classes and communities with people who differ from themselves,” a group of authors and illustrators claimed that they are part of a much greater change.
“We know that there are families and educators throughout the country who seek to create inclusive classes that meet the needs of different groups of students in their school districts. We are in spirit when they work to make all students see and support,” the group said. “We will continue to support LGBTQ+ families and children everywhere and advocate all students to read freely. We strongly disagree with the court decision.”

The secretary of the education department Linda McMahon noted the ruling as a victory for “parental rights” and loss for “bureaucrats”.
“Parents have the right to know that their children study at school, and implement their first amendment of religion to abandon separate and ideological lessons that go against the values and beliefs of their families,” McMahon said.
