    Mahmoud v Taylor is objecting to the idea that teachers will be forced to read books that contain ideas that go against whatever beliefs they claim to have.

    I don’t get what their ideal system would be like. Homeschool style curriculum taught by tax funded public teachers?

    You can already interact with institutions and have a say in what is taught – where’s the opt outs for religiously influenced policy decisions, like abortion or contraceptives?

    “We decided something democratically, but I didn’t like the outcome and want an option to not live by it.” The religious are preaching to the choir.

    Edit: link to a source, but probably not a good one because I never figured out a good way to read this stuff on my own. https://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docket/docketfiles/html/public\24-297.html
