Lesson Plan: SCOTUS Discuss Parental Rights in the Classroom

FOX News correspondent David Spunt delves into the Supreme Court’s ongoing discussions about parental and religious rights, particularly focusing on policies that allow parents to opt out of their children learning from LGBTQ-themed books on “Special Report.”

In a recent development, North Carolina’s library board of trustees has disbanded following a decision to keep a picture book about a transgender boy on the shelves.

On December 8, Randolph County commissioners executed a 3-2 vote to dismiss the Randolph County Public Library Board of Trustees. Earlier in October, the board had voted 5-2 to retain the book titled “Please Call Me Max,” which addresses the story of a transgender boy.

A part of Chapter 2 reads: “On the first day of school, the teacher called our names. \’Memories?\’ ‘here! \’Stella?\’ \’Myself!\'” The young protagonist, wishing to be called “Max,” experiences a moment of hope as the teacher acknowledges him: “Can I call you Max?” he asks, inspired by a character from his favorite book.

This book is penned by trans author Kyle Lukoff, who aimed to provide “a gentle, age-appropriate introduction to what it means to be transgender,” as described in its Amazon listing.

The Randolph County Public Library and the corresponding commission were not available for immediate comments regarding this situation.
