submitted by a Christian family Litigation For Maryland school districts that do not allow the daughter of a family star student to use the LGBTQ+ curriculum to graduate with religious objections to health classes.
Students whose identity is protected by Fox News Digital had a weighted GPA of 4.76 and received 1450 in SAT. This is in the 96th percentile.
“We are not trying to stop teaching MCPS about LGBTQ+ or change the curriculum. …We are trying to force MCPS to refrain from discriminating against religion.
Despite her excellent record, Montgomery County Public Schools have not allowed her to graduate as their family refuses to complete mandatory health classes with “LGBTQ+ Affirming” and “religiously discriminatory” content.
The district defends its refusal to religious opt-out in another case before the U.S. Supreme Court, submitted by a group of student Jewish, Christian and Muslim parents.
“She is rather distraught that she can’t graduate with all her friends and experience that rite of passage,” her father told Fox.
The family filed a petition with the Maryland Supreme Court to ensure that their daughter can graduate on a regular schedule.
Parents obtained screenshots of teacher training documents and ordered teachers to “review LGBTQ+ resources to incorporate more comprehensive languages with students” and provided Fox. The guidance also allegedly labeled Christians as privileged groups and oppressed as “non-Abrahamic religion/spirituality.”
The family offered to let their daughter take alternative classes to meet the health class requirements, but the district refused.
“We are not trying to stop teaching MCPS about LGBTQ+ or change their curriculum,” he wrote his parents in a letter to the Maryland State Board of Education in March.
“We have made sure that MCPS limit some of their family life and human sexuality to parts of their curriculum, so if their daughter can opt out of their daughter or MCPS is allowed to teach LGBTQ+ across Health Classes, the MCP will be able to opt out of their daughters from the entire class, as teacher guidance materials say. “We are trying to make MCPS refrain from discriminating against religion.”
Neither the district nor the school board responded to Fox’s request for comment.
