A federal court has ordered the Montgomery County, Maryland School District to pay $1.5 million in damages to parents after finding that the public school system violated the parents’ constitutional rights. A group of parents didn’t want their elementary aged children to be exposed to LGBT themed books—some of which promoted gender transitioning and pride parades to children as young as 4. But the school system got rid of parental notice and opt-outs for those parents. So the parents sued and took their case to Federal District Court. The court sided with parental rights not school administrators, which was a lesson that came with a high price for Montgomery County School officials.
