heard oral arguments in a family-led lawsuit against Montgomery County Public Schools’ decision to prevent parents from opting out of classes that teach young children about gay and transgender issues.The plaintiffs’ lead attorney Eric Baxter cited Wisconsin v. Yoder to support his argument.

The judge also tried to determine if Mr. Baxter’s clients took greater issue with the six LGBTQ-themed books, or the teacher-led discussions that followed.
