Summary

Parents are pushing back against elementary school book readings of LGBTQ+ material, arguing the content is too sensitive for young children, according to a lawyer involved in a Supreme Court case. Eric Baxter claims all parents want their kids to skip these books when they're exploring controversial topics like sexuality or gender identity. The issue, he says, isn’t about history but specifically these reading materials, not inclusive education. A ruling is expected soon on how schools and parents can handle such content.
