A Boston judge has ruled in favor of a Massachusetts dad who sued his local school district to ensure his five-year-old son is never exposed to books featuring LGBTQ+ characters.

As the Boston Herald reported, the father, identified in court documents as Alan L., is described as a "devout Christian" who objects to the inclusion of certain children's books featuring LGBTQ+ characters in the kindergarten curriculum of Joseph Estabrook Elementary School, where his son, identified as J.L., is enrolled.

It is unclear whether J.L. was ever actually exposed to the two books with which his father took issue — Suzanne Lang's Families, Families, Families! and Alexandra Penfold's All Are Welcome — that are part of the school's kindergarten curriculum.

Nevertheless, Alan L. sued the school and Lexington Public Schools, claiming that his son had been compelled "to participate in classroom instruction that promote(s) sexualized and ideological messages directly contrary to his family's faith" and that he has the right to both be notified before his son is exposed to such material and to opt J.L. out of any lessons or activities that "normalize or promote LGBTQ identities or lifestyles."

But in his December 30 decision, U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV noted that the case falls squarely under the precedent set by the Supreme Court's June 2025 ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor, which established parents' First Amendment right to opt their children out of classroom instruction that includes LGBTQ+ characters and themes.

He is free to enroll his son in religious schools, he is not free to require public schools to censor's other people's very existence.

Exactly my thoughts.

The LGBTQ community pays taxes that support public education for all people. If he objects to public educational materials, he is free to homeschool or enroll his child elsewhere.

Wow. Small minded and bigoted.
