Mahmoud v Taylor is objecting to the idea that teachers will be forced to read books that contain ideas that go against whatever beliefs they claim to have.
I don’t get what their ideal system would be like. Homeschool style curriculum taught by tax funded public teachers?
You can already interact with institutions and have a say in what is taught – where’s the opt outs for religiously influenced policy decisions, like abortion or contraceptives?
“We decided something democratically, but I didn’t like the outcome and want an option to not live by it.” The religious are preaching to the choir.
Edit: link to a source, but probably not a good one because I never figured out a good way to read this stuff on my own. https://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=%2Fdocket%2Fdocketfiles%2Fhtml%2Fpublic\24-297.html
Let me guess – the same people don’t want kids to be able to be opted out of religious stuff in schools
I think we should just take a few southern states, break them off, and let the dumb people all opt in to living there if they want to be intentionally ignorant.
