Federal ruling against Christian and Muslim parents may spark a new campaign in education
Fox News
A federal judge recently denied a request by parents who want to opt-out their children from LGBTQ readings.
Cal Thomas is one of America's most widely syndicated op-ed columnist in the U.S. He is the author of several books. His most recent is "America’s Expiration Date: The Fall of Empires, Superpowers and the United States." Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.
Christian and Muslim parents had sued the school system, claiming such books force religious parents to either abandon what they believe their faith teaches, or leave the public school system.
This is indoctrination and the judge’s ruling violates the First Amendment’s "free exercise" clause, which "protects citizens’ right to practice their religion as they please, so long as the practice does not run afoul of a ‘public morals’ or a ‘compelling’ governmental interest."
