@nbcnews: Ahead of the Supreme Court hearing arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor, NBC News spoke with several parents and advocates on both sides of the issue. The case was brought by a group of parents in Montgomery County, #Maryland, who are challenging requirements for their children to participate in #LGBTQ curriculum and reading materials.

Just another hot take :
If you only want your child to have an education centered in Christianity than send your child to a private Christian school

Omg! People act like teachers are sitting there teaching children how to be gay/lesbian! All they are doing is teaching children how to be respectful to everyone who MIGHT be different! SMH 🤦‍♀️

It’s not being taught. It’s just shows up. If a book were to say “she prayed,” they aren’t teaching people to pray it’s just what happened in the book. Same as if a character had two dads.

Their obsession with kids is weird.

They want to say these kids are too young to learn about these things but they are old enough to understand lockdown drills and what they are for?

I grew up not knowing what gay was until high school from friends and I turned out perfectly fine. Kids don't need to be "introduced" to this stuff.

What they teach should be up to the parent not the government? Public schools are funded by the government, teachers are government employees. If you want to decide what your kids learn, you get to do that by deciding to send them to private schools or homeschool them

Some of these parents also think dinosaurs and the earth being round shouldn't be taught. Yes, you have a right to teach your children what you want that's why we have homeschooling.

We don’t need to be teaching young children about others’ mental illnesses, that’s not necessary education. hope this helps!

Sexuality, race, etc are all topics that kids will eventually ask about on their own. They’re bound to become curious when they overhear certain convos. It’s inevitable.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... if they are reading a book to children, what does the characters sexuality have to do with the children's book.

Nope. Nobody gets the right to abuse kids, and that’s what hiding an entire class of people is.

You know what? I completely agree. Let's remove any mention of non-platonic relationships between individuals until high-school. No, "ladies man" t-shirts, no media with married individuals, nothing.

I grew up with two moms. Representation in school, as simple as a children’s book, would have changed my life for the better.

It’s also your right to send your kid to a private school that matches your values

if you don't want your kids to learn about real world circumstances, homeschooling them is an option but it's only hurting their perspective on the world.

What age group are we talking about ? Cause elementary school has no need for books like this and honestly not even middle school. Highschool should be the age where the books can be read and be taken
