In June, the United States Supreme Court ruled on the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor. A group of Maryland parents had sued their local school district, asking for the restoration of their rights to opt their children out of LGBTQ+ curriculum that they felt undermined their First Amendment rights to direct the religious upbringing of their children.

Find out what Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion, what Justice Clarence Thomas had to say in his concurring opinion, and what Justice Sonia Sotomayor said in her dissent.
