Thanks, Supreme Court! It's now my right to prevent my kid from learning about Trump. | Opinion
Any attempt to teach my children that Trump exists and is president might suggest such behavior is acceptable, and that would infringe on my right to raise my child under the moral tenets of my faith.

I have a deeply held religious conviction that, ... lying, bullying and paying $130,000 in hush money to an adult film star are all immoral acts.
So it is with great thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court and its recent ruling allowing Maryland parents to opt their children out of any lessons that involve LGBTQ+ material that I announce the following: Attempts to teach my children anything about Donald Trump, including the unfortunate fact that he is president of the United States, place an unconstitutional burden on my First Amendment right to freely exercise my religion.
In its June 27 ruling, the high court cited Wisconsin v. Yoder and noted, "The Court recognized that parents have a right 'to direct the religious upbringing of their children' and that this right can be infringed by laws that pose 'a very real threat of undermining' the religious beliefs and practices that parents wish to instill in their children."
Well, I wish to instill in my children the belief that suggesting some Americans are "radical left thugs that live like vermin" and describing a female vice president of the United States as "mentally impaired" and "a weak and foolish woman" are bad things ...
