The judge cited the Supreme Court’s recent decision establishing parents’ right to opt kids out of LGBTQ+ inclusive lessons.
A Boston judge has ruled in favor of a Massachusetts dad who sued his local school district to ensure his five-year-old son is never exposed to books featuring LGBTQ+ characters.
As the Boston Herald reported, the father, identified in court documents as Alan L., is described as a “devout Christian” who objects to the inclusion of certain children’s books featuring LGBTQ+ characters in the kindergarten curriculum of Joseph Estabrook Elementary School, where his son, identified as J.L., is enrolled.
I would argue that this is inhumane treatment of the child. Depriving people of publically available knowledge in order to enforce an ideology is mistreatment and oppression of said people.
Ideological control and enforcement should not be a parental right; this is child abuse. They’re forcing the child into the parents’ ideology, which violates the child’s right to free thought.
