When devout Muslim parents heard their son would be reading a story in school about a knight and a prince who fall in love, they asked to opt him out. The resulting Supreme Court case could impact how far schools must go to accommodate religious parents’ objections to curriculum.
As an aromantic person, under the ‘a’ umbrella of LGBTQ+ I think if parents can prevent kids from just simply exploring their attractions or their gender identity can be a form of suppression. If the kid wanted to explore it on their own, it’s different as if the thing was forced on them. In a way Christianity, had been forced on millions to an extent. If you’re following the law just to protect yourself legally with some decisions you may make for your child I guess that might be more acceptable then forcing a religious Bible that we don’t know is actually real or not.
In the case of this ruling, I just… think that this is based on a book written at one point of time by a group of people. A fairy tale, and used as an excuse for parents to suppress people they don’t want to be seen or to exist. Whether they are doing it in legit hate or whether they truly believe in what the Bible is saying in the Christian sense is true, they are really just suppressing these groups of people. Intentional or not, they are suppressing them from existing and expressing themselves.
