Many religious people tend to suffer from the delusion that they are always right and you are always wrong. God talks to them. He tells them all sorts of stupid things, apparently. So they hold it to be a violation of their precious Constitutional rights if you disagree with them and don't just keep that to yourself. Of course, since they're always right and you're always wrong (that's one of the things God says to them), you can't assert anything like the same privileges they assert.
I attended Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools K-12, then attended St Mary's College of Maryland on the site of the state's original English colony, the one designated as a haven for Catholics. Maryland only had freedom of religion for those who "profess the trinity," which notably leaves out some Christians and everyone who is not Christian. So, the colony wasn't a true bastion of religious freedom that the colony of Pennsylvania was.
My sincerely held religious beliefs say you're not allowed to claim someone else as part of your religion unless they want to be a part of your religion. Therefore, the *parents'* religious beliefs are not relevant to what their *kids* learn: to do otherwise would violate my religion.
Take your fucking snowflake kids and send them to a religious school, or teach them at home. Just get the fuck out of my public school. We aren't here to cater to every got damm individual who is afraid their weak-willed little rugrats won't be able to resist turning gay/trans/Buddhist/communist/Swedish.
This is a win-win for them. Does it make it harder for public schools to run efficiently? Does it cost them more money to allow these, and more opt-outs?
Fuck, they don't give a shit about public schools. Just makes it quicker and easier to get rid of them.
if i'm wrong here, somelawyerbody correct me--but isnt the first rule of getting a court to review a case, to convince the court that some harm has been caused?...how in the everlovinFuck does this case ever get standing to begin with?
I don't think the court set an opt out for the post game prayer the high school football coach in Oregon conducted in center field. It's very likely that every football player in the team was afraid if they opted out of the coach's prayer they would also be opting out of playing in the next game unless they were so valuable they couldn't be benched. But may still have to run laps or extra drills because "you didn't try hard enough in practice". A coach exerts a lot of control over high school players and they learn quickly that he can make you pay if you cross him. Skipping his prayer being one example.
The Constitution says the State may not tell a person what religion they may follow (unless it involves polygamy or cannibalism. How does reading books about things that are real -- LGBT is real, same sex marriages are real, gender dysmorphism is real -- interfere with their worship, which is private, while the others are public.
Treat others as you want to be treated, be kind, love thy neighbor, unless they're LGBTQ+ says the extremely hateful right, then fight for the right to stone them, ostracize them, and banish them from all private and public spaces!
As an aside, I really appreciate the people that have trump bumperstickers on their cars, and signs in their yards, it lets me know who to stay well the fuck away from.
I have a sincere religious objection to ever having to look at Trump or Musks ugly faces again. Can your Supreme Court please pass that on to all the photojournalists and internet sites out there?
You can pull your kids out of science classes, then, right? Because science contradicts the Bible's teaching that the earth is flat and round like the top of a table, with the sky a thin solid dome above it. And that there was life on land before there was life in the sea.
A great thing this country offers is taxpayer-supported PUBLIC schools. Public education is not supposed to be supportive or antagonistic toward a particular set of religious beliefs. If exposure to the variety in the world makes parents uncomfortable, they (not taxpayers) should fund schools that meet their values. That choice has its own downside, however. I experienced teaching that specifically denied salvation to people of other faiths. That is poor preparation for public life and citizenship.

Does this mean my Quaker children can skip history class anytime the teacher mentions war?

βNot everything needs to make sense" is a pretty poor explanation, mom. The author does the trans community no favors with that line.

Hurting a religious fucknut's feefees is apparently sufficient "harm" to drag the justice system - right on up to SCOTUS - into the fray.
SCOTUS = Supreme Catholics of the United States, so you can guess how that goes.

Their whole religion is based on their "victimization."
"Why won't the rest of the world fall in love with our God who wants to destroy them all for petty reasons???"
. . . and why does their god need so much money?

Ta, Dok. We'll never conform to small mindedness. No. Matter. What.
