The judge cited the Supreme Court’s recent decision establishing parents’ right to opt kids out of LGBTQ+ inclusive lessons.

A Boston judge has ruled in favor of a Massachusetts dad who sued his local school district to ensure his five-year-old son is never exposed to books featuring LGBTQ+ characters.

As the Boston Herald reported, the father, identified in court documents as Alan L., is described as a “devout Christian” who objects to the inclusion of certain children’s books featuring LGBTQ+ characters in the kindergarten curriculum of Joseph Estabrook Elementary School, where his son, identified as J.L., is enrolled.

          If you think that’s what was happening, you’ve completely lost the plot, mate. That’s absolutely not a real thing. You’re literally just parroting homophobic conservative reactionary fearmongering rhetoric.

            I went to HS. Teacher literally told kids about gender identity, and how a man can identify as a woman. I saw it with my own eyes. This would have been in 2020 when I was 14

            Ofc I went to a conservative HS, so the kids laughed at the teacher.

            I fear my kids will be groomed, stronger than I was.

              Teaching kids about gender identity and gender dysphoria is good and normal. Teaching people about those matters is absolutely not an attempt at indoctrination or “grooming” in any way, shape, or form.

              I hope your children end up seeing your bigotry for what it is and reject it, because your whole psychology around this stuff is unrepentantly toxic.
