Supreme Court hears school curriculum, parental rights case

Season 2025 Episode 112 | 7m 17s

The Supreme Court heard arguments in a major case focused on parental rights and public schools. At the center of the case is a dispute over a curriculum in Maryland that included books featuring LGBTQ+ characters. Some parents asked for their children to be excused, but schools stopped allowing opt-outs the next year. Amna Nawaz discussed more with News Hour Supreme Court analyst Marcia Coyle.
