WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, America First Legal (AFL) and co-counsel Christopher Mills filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Tamer Mahmoud v. Thomas W. Taylor, opposing the Montgomery County, Maryland, Public School District’s (MCPS) radical, mandatory gender identity and sexuality program of indoctrination that denies parents their right to know or opt-out.
AFL argues:
- MCPS’ radical sexuality and gender identity curriculum do not align with the historical roots of valuable education for children.
- The school district disregards parental notice and opt-out rights violating statutory and constitutional requirements.
- MCPS wrongfully exposes young students to highly controversial sex and gender identity indoctrination, promoting disputed opinions as fact without allowing discussion or acknowledging dissent and disagreement.
On October 16, 2024, AFL filed a separate amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear this case.
The Constitution recognizes and protects a parent’s right to direct the upbringing and education of his or her child. Parents — not education industry bureaucrats, woke teachers, or leftist school boards — have the final say. AFL will continue fighting for our parents and to protect our children from radical gender indoctrination.
