Moms for Liberty touts parental involvement in education policy as Supreme Court weighs curriculum case
Moms for Liberty founder Tina Descovich clarified that the Supreme Court case on public school curriculum goes beyond religious affiliations.
The case is centered on Maryland’s Montgomery County Public Schools deciding in 2023 to eliminate opt-outs for its students. This meant parents could no longer pull their children out of classes on sensitive subjects for any reason. Now it’s facing a challenge from the Becket Fund representing parents of all religious backgrounds and also nonreligious parents.
“It’s ultimately about the fundamental right, your right given to you by God to raise your children and direct their moral and religious upbringing, their medical care and their education, and most certainly their education when they’re out of your care, and sitting in a public school, and so this case touches a lot of those areas,” Descovich said of the case on Fox News’s My View with Lara Trump on Saturday. “But if you listen to some of the arguments, it was fascinating and a little bit disgusting to hear Supreme Court justices saying words like leather and bondage and lace, and underwear and things they had to discuss that were in books for three years in Montgomery County.”
