Parents' Right to Opt Out of LGBT School Lessons Told to Supreme Court by Lawyer
A lawyer arguing on behalf of a coalition of parents is urging the Supreme Court to let parents choose whether their children participate in LGBT school lessons, viewing it as an issue of parental autonomy.
The US Supreme Court should allow parents to opt their children out of LGBT school lessons, a lawyer argued, in a case that centers on the fundamental right for parents to be involved in their child's education and well-being. The coalition of parents believes that this choice is essential to their ability to raise their children according to their own values and beliefs. By granting parents the right to opt out, schools would respect the autonomy of both parents and children. This decision has significant implications for the role of government in education and the balance between individual rights and public policies.
