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.

    Seems like an ideal candidate for home-schooling, though that’s a shitty thing to do to a kid.

      This problem is going to work itself out, as the public school system is being killed off. “Don’t like what your school is teaching? Go somewhere else. It’s a free market. Here’s your voucher.”

      Of course this new system will create a whole host of other problems.
