Dhillon's statement specifically referenced Mahmoud v. Taylor, the 2025 Supreme Court decision, which said that schools must allow religious parents to opt their children out of any lessons acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people exist. The court agreed with the parents' claim that their First Amendment rights were violated when schools used books that included LGBTQ+ characters. The existence of queer people contradicts some parents' religious beliefs and, thus, violates their First Amendment right to direct their children's religious upbringing, the court said.
