A federal court has ordered Montgomery County to pay $1.4 million to parents who were denied the right to remove their children from LGBT curriculum. The ruling comes after the Supreme Court sided with the families last year.
A group of parents from Montgomery County has been awarded $1.4 million by a federal judge following a legal battle over their children’s education. The court ruled in favor of the mothers and fathers who challenged the school district’s decision to prevent them from withdrawing their kids from LGBT-related curriculum and coursework.
The families took legal action against the county, and their case ultimately reached the nation’s highest court. In a victory for the parents, the Supreme Court determined last year that they possess the authority to remove their children from such educational content.
Attorney Eric Baxter, representing the Becket Fund, emphasized the broader implications of the decision. “Public schools nationwide are on notice: running roughshod over parental rights and religious freedom isn’t just illegal — it’s costly,” Baxter stated.
