Christian and Muslim parents in Montgomery County, Maryland are suing the Montgomery County Board of Education to assert their right to pull their kids out of lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation.

Lawyers representing the parents in the federal lawsuit said (pdf) that Montgomery County Public Schools, the largest school district in Maryland, has since March 23, been claiming “authority to introduce pre-K and elementary school kids to certain books (the ‘Pride Storybooks’) that promote one-sided transgender ideology, encourage gender transitioning, and focus excessively on romantic infatuation—with no parental notification or opportunity to opt out.”
