“On Friday, the Supreme Court clobbered perhaps America’s most aggressive and intolerant LGBTQ+ school indoctrination program. By a vote of 6 to 3 in the case of Mahmoud v.Taylor, the court upheld parents’ right to exempt their children from biased sex and gender lessons that violated their religious values. The court’s ruling is a bitter reminder that public education is the most expensive ‘gift’ that most Americans will ever receive. … The Supreme Court made the right call in upholding parents’ right to opt-out their kids. But how did government schools ever become so arrogant as to claim a right to determine what each child thought about personal, moral, and religious issues? The power of government schools remains a dire threat to parents, children, and to the future of liberty.” [editor’s note: SCOTUS didn’t strike a blow against indoctrination; it just weighed in on the PARTICULAR CONTENT of that indoctrination. Only separation of school and state accomplishes the former – TLK] (06/30/25)
