Walled Lake parental opt-out

The public page says this is parental opt-out litigation in Walled Lake, Michigan. It says a public-school teacher taught controversial material on gender identity without prior notice to parents or students. It says the parents and their child opted out and the district refused, so the student remained in the teaching.

The page says the plaintiffs claim an Equal Protection Clause violation when a public school does not allow an opt-out for parents who object to gender-identity curriculum. It says they argue the school is discriminating against parental lifestyle choice, and that the Free Exercise Clause, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act do not, in the page’s account, cover that schoolhouse dispute.

The live projects list marks the Walled Lake matter closed. The page does not publish a judgment in the text read for this summary.
