Parents from Montgomery County, Maryland, rallied near a federal courthouse Wednesday before a judge hears arguments in a family-led lawsuit against the school system requiring LGBTQ classroom materials for young children.
A group of parents gathered across the street from the U.S. District of Maryland Courthouse in Greenbelt for a demonstration before the case, Mahmoud v. McKnight, went before a judge at 10 a.m.
The plaintiffs argue the policy violates a state law letting parents withhold their children from classes teaching human growth and sexuality. “Introducing terms like ‘cisgender’ to a first-grader… I don’t think that’s a term a 6-year-old can really process,” a parent with two pre-K children, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Washington Times at the rally. “I think those are conversations a parent should have with their children.”
