WASHINGTON — Wael Elkoshairi, a Muslim parent who unenrolled his daughter from a Montgomery County, Maryland, public school last year, believes his local school district is "watering down" parental rights and trying to indoctrinate children.

He was among several parents of varying religious backgrounds who spoke outside the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday to advocate for the right to opt their children out of lessons featuring books that celebrate gender transitioning and same-sex relationships, which they say contradict their religious convictions.

Speaking before oral arguments in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, they say that the Montgomery County Board of Education violated their rights by refusing to provide an opt-out for their children, although the county provides opt-outs for other reasons.

Schools need to stick to teaching academics and leave matters of morality out of the classroom because they’re obviously not qualified to teach such lessons.

This garbage needs to stop. Let children decide if they want to read LGBT when they are older. Period.
