Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office has joined a 25-state brief in support of parental rights in a U.S. Supreme Court case.

In the case, styled Mahmoud v. Taylor, et al., a group of Maryland parents from diverse religious backgrounds has asked the Supreme Court to restore their right to know what books will be read to their elementary-aged children and when. The parents also want their children to have the option to leave when books that push an agenda on sexuality and gender that clashes with their deeply held religious beliefs will be read.

The coalition, led by Virginia and West Virginia, is urging SCOTUS to grant a petition for writ of certiorari to remind courts that strict scrutiny applies in these situations and requires schools to provide opt-out rights.
