The Supreme Court delivered a 6-3 ruling that prohibits school districts from adding five gay-themed books to their library lists unless they provide religious parents the option to opt out. This ruling raises concerns over the inclusion of diverse literature in schools and challenges the legal precedents that prevent faith-based exemptions from general policies. Critics argue that this decision limits educational opportunities and does not consider the context of how literature is taught to students.
"Innumerable themes may be 'contrary to the religious principles' that parents 'wish to instill in their children,'" wrote Justice Sotomayor in dissent.
