Advancing American Freedom led a coalition of 62 other amici fighting for the right of parents to protect their children from sexualization and indoctrination. In its amicus brief before the Supreme Court in Mahmoud v. Taylor, AAF argued that the rights of parents to direct the upbringing of their children is protected by the Constitution, as that Court has recognized repeatedly over the last century. In this case, parents are challenging the Montgomery County School Board’s policy introducing the use of LGBTQ reading materials into classrooms without parental opportunity to opt out. This blatant attempt to manipulate the minds of young people against the wishes of their parents must not be allowed to stand.
“When parents send their children to school, they expect them to learn reading, writing, math, and science, not to be brought up in the most recent social fad of the left,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “We urge the Supreme Court to rule for the parents and restore their rightful authority to raise their children according to their values; values shared by an overwhelming majority of Americans.”
