The Montgomery County school district faced backlash after introducing over 20 inclusivity books with LGBTQ+ themes into elementary schools. Unlike other states, Maryland laws generally allow parents to opt out of sex education, but the school district stated it would not provide similar choices for these books. Numerous parents, including Grace Morrison, have filed a lawsuit against the district, arguing that the material is inappropriate for young children and emphasizes contentious topics over universal values such as kindness.
Instead of teaching universal lessons about kindness and respect, these books push polarizing views on gender and sexuality while placing an unusual emphasis on children's romantic emotions.
I was told one book that would be presented in her classroom was called Pride Puppy where children going to a pride parade get an alphabetical list of things to look for.
