Parents Get Enormous Payout After School Forces Kids to Read LGBT Books – westernjournal.com
Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland was required to pay parents $1.5 million after forcing their children to read storybooks with homosexual and transgender themes.
In 2023, three sets of parents filed a lawsuit after parental notices and opt-outs were removed before their children were exposed to books about gender transitions and pride parades, according to a report from The Christian Post.
But last June, the Supreme Court ruled that the district had to obtain parental consent before the children were shown the material.
U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman issued a financial judgment on Feb. 19, requiring the school to pay the impacted parents $1.5 million in damages, according to an alert from Becket.
