COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

The Supreme handed down a sweeping victory for parental rights and religious freedom — and dealt a devastating blow to the progressive zealots bent on brainwashing America’s children. Change is in the air.
In Mahmoud v. Taylor, Montgomery County, Md., parents fought their local school board over a policy requiring young children to read books centered on LGBTQ+ identity. The justices ruled 6-3 in favor of the parents, who sought the right to opt their kids out of lessons that undermine their religious beliefs. In his majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito let the books speak for themselves via color reproductions of their pages.
There was no better way to demonstrate that these were not books promoting tolerance and acceptance, but radical attempts at indoctrination. “Pride Puppy,” part of the district’s kindergarten curriculum, includes a word search listing topics detailed in the book’s illustrations: drag king, drag queen, high heels, lip ring, lace, leather.
Another book, “Born Ready,” features a very young child who identifies as transgender. In it, the character’s older brother protests, “This doesn’t make sense. You can’t become a boy. You have to be born one.” Their mother scolds him: “Not everything needs to make sense. This is about love.” The message is clear: If you want issues of sex and gender to make sense, you aren’t a loving person. The school board, Alito wrote, “encourages the teachers to correct the children and accuse them of being ‘hurtful’ when they express a degree of religious confusion.”
