America First Legal (AFL) and co-counsel Christopher Mills filed an amicus brief Wednesday (Oct. 16) in the U.S. Supreme Court, urging a review of a case regarding the alleged indoctrination of children in Montgomery County Public School District (MCPS).
MCPS has a mandatory curriculum on sexuality and gender identity, and refuses to allow parents to opt their children out of the classes, according to AFL. The instruction includes exposure to literature on “radical gender ideology,” while “disregarding all religious objections to instruction” on various type of gender ideology.

“In the context of elementary schooling and sexuality education, “exposure” to these topics and themes is precisely what is intended to affect students’ values. Regardless of what conversations might happen afterward, the act of authority figures reading books promoting certain values to impressionable children in a room of their peers is significant,” wrote AFL.

Molding Values?
“MCPS knows that school curriculum molds students’ values. That’s precisely why MCPS held that providing parents with the option to opt their children out of this curriculum would “undermin[e] [the school system’s] educational mission.” And that’s also why the district court recognized that these readings are intended to “influence” children,” the group noted.
