Overview

• The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 against granting a preliminary injunction for parents seeking to opt out their children from LGBTQ lessons.
• Parents argued that the curriculum violated their religious beliefs and their right to direct their children's education.
• Judge G. Steven Agee noted the high burden of proof for a preliminary injunction and the limited evidence presented by the parents.
• Judge A. Marvin Quattlebaum dissented, arguing that the policy burdens parents' religious rights and should allow opt-outs.
• The case may be appealed to the Supreme Court, as parents continue to challenge the policy.
