/1📢 NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL has filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court to protect parents’ constitutional right to opt their children out of Montgomery County Public Schools’ radical gender identity and sexuality indoctrination program.

MUST READ👇 Image
/2 AFL and co-counsel Christopher Mills filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Tamer Mahmoud v. Thomas W. Taylor, opposing the Montgomery County, Maryland, Public School District’s (MCPS) radical, mandatory gender identity and sexuality program of indoctrination that denies parents their right to know or opt their children out.
/3 AFL argues:

➡️ MCPS’ radical sexuality and gender identity curriculum does not align with the historical roots of valuable education for children.

➡️ The school district disregards parental notice and opt-out rights, violating statutory and constitutional requirements.

➡️ MCPS wrongfully exposes young students to highly controversial sex and gender identity indoctrination, promoting disputed opinions as fact without allowing discussion or acknowledging dissent and disagreement.
