[00:01:31]  Let me tell you about a case that the Supreme Court is going to be hearing today that is one of the most important issues you can possibly understand.
[00:01:39]  Ever.
[00:01:40]  I want you to listen closely.
[00:01:42]  Let me explain this to you.
[00:01:43]  And what could be...
[00:01:45]  A landmark, and I don't use that term lightly, a landmark religious liberty clause.
[00:01:52]  The Supreme Court SCOTUS is reviewing a challenge from religious parents who are fighting back against a Maryland school district's decision to force young children.
[00:02:06]  Now listen to this.
[00:02:07]  This is really critical.
[00:02:08]  And it's not anywhere.
[00:02:10]  I defy you to find this in any news story.
[00:02:13]  Anybody talking about it?
[00:02:14]  No?
[00:02:15]  No, do you wonder why that is?
[00:02:17]  Wonder why that is?
[00:02:19]  Gee, what do you think that's about?
[00:02:21]  In any event, this is a Maryland school district's decision to force young children to sit through lessons involving, and I'm being kind, LGBTQ-themed books without any opt-out option.
[00:02:38]  Let me explain to you the case.
[00:02:41]  It's called Mahmoud against Taylor.
[00:02:47]  It stems from the Montgomery County, Maryland case.
[00:02:50]  Where the school board in 2022 introduced a set of picture books.
[00:02:59]  But not just any picture books.
[00:03:01]  Picture books promoting LGBTQ themes including Pride Puppy and Uncle Bobby's Wedding.
[00:03:09]  They introduced this into the curriculum for children as young as, wait for it, four years old.
[00:03:17]  Now these books feature same-sex couples and celebrate pride parades, all under the guise, all under the umbrella of, you got it, inclusivity.
[00:03:29]  Now the parents, Muslim, Catholic, and Ukrainian Orthodox, This is like free exercise clause stuff.
[00:03:54]  So, no warning, no choice, no opt-out.
[00:04:00]  This is what this is about.
[00:04:01]  Now, originally...
[00:04:03]  The district had allowed parents to opt out of such lessons.
[00:04:06]  But in 2023, the Montgomery County Board of Education abruptly reversed its policy and it eliminated parental notification and the opt-out option entirely.
[00:04:22]  Remember, they're not arguing about whether this is being taught.
[00:04:26]  They're arguing about whether they have the option as a parent to opt out.
[00:04:29]  So why'd they do this?
[00:04:30]  They claimed it was too, quote, logistically challenging.
[00:04:34]  This is their reason.
[00:04:36]  And they accused parents of being bigoted if they objected.
[00:04:40]  Now let that one sink in.
[00:04:42]  Faithful parents who simply wanted to raise their children according to their beliefs were being acquitted to white supremacists.
[00:04:52]  That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:04:54]  See what happens?
[00:04:55]  This isn't education.
[00:04:56]  This is coercion.
[00:04:58]  And if you think I'm exaggerating, read the case.
[00:05:02]  Now the parents are going to court and they're fighting for their rights and it's about time.
[00:05:07]  They're represented by the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty.
[00:05:11]  This is the parent sued, citing a clear violation of their First Amendment rights.
[00:05:17]  They argue that being forced to expose their children To teachings on sexuality and gender identity without consent compels them to violate their religious principles.
[00:05:33]  So this isn't about banning books.
[00:05:36]  Let's be very, very clear about this.
[00:05:37]  It's about letting parents, letting American parents decide what is age appropriate for their kids.
[00:05:45]  Let me say, whose kids?
[00:05:46]  Their kids.
[00:05:48]  Their kids.
[00:05:49]  Their minor children.
[00:05:50]  Their kids.
[00:05:51]  This is about parental supremacy, parental primacy, parental autonomy.
[00:05:56]  And after all, if parents can't decide when to introduce these topics, who can?
[00:06:00]  What if there were books that say, Joey's an atheist?
[00:06:05]  Little sister, they don't go to church because there's no God.
[00:06:08]  You think they'd have a right then?
[00:06:10]  You think they'd have a right?
[00:06:11]  But the lower court sided with the school district.
[00:06:14]  Gee, that's amazing, isn't it?
[00:06:16]  Both the Federal District Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, that's the Intermediate Appellate Court, brushed off the parents' request for even a temporary injunction.
[00:06:27]  Now remember, the judges who are involved now will grant TROs, temporary restraining orders, for anything if it involves what?
[00:06:38]  TDA, MS-13, no problem with that.
[00:06:42]  But this, eh.
[00:06:43]  And all you have to do to allege a TRO is irreparable harm or the potential of something.
[00:06:49]  And that's like the easiest burden.
[00:06:51]  They said, no.
[00:06:52]  The judges insisted that exposure to ideas doesn't amount to coercion.
[00:06:59]  Think about this.
[00:07:01]  So, tell that to the parents who feel bullied out of their own children's education.
[00:07:07]  Tell that to them.
[00:07:08]  Tell them, no, no, no, you got this all wrong.
[00:07:10]  You just move along, you white supremacists.
[00:07:13]  Muslim white supremacists?
[00:07:15]  Jewish white?
[00:07:16]  I mean, Ukraine?
[00:07:17]  What?
[00:07:18]  That was up to the Supreme Court.
[00:07:19]  Here's what happened.
[00:07:20]  The high court heard oral arguments on April the 23rd.
[00:07:26]  That is tomorrow.
[00:07:28]  Does that make any sense?
[00:07:33]  I'm going to check this out.
[00:07:35]  Maybe I misread this.
[00:07:38]  In any event, the question is, can a school district override Religious freedom and parental rights under the guise of diversity.
[00:07:50]  That's the issue.
[00:07:52]  Now, the parents' case, in this particular case, leans heavily on legal precedents like Wisconsin v.
[00:07:59]  Yoder, where the court ruled that Amish families could withdraw children from school past the eighth grade to protect their religious traditions.
[00:08:09]  Remember, it's about precedent.
[00:08:11]  They also point to the Church of the Lukumi Babalu Ayye versus the city of Hialeah.
[00:08:19]  This is a 1993 case that said policies targeting religious practices are unconstitutional if they're not neutral or generally applicable.
[00:08:30]  Here, the school board allowed opt-outs for family life and human sexuality lessons in the past, LGBTQ content.
[00:08:44]  See, that's selective, and that's biased, and it's wrong.
[00:08:47]  This is government arrogance on full display.
[00:08:51]  In a brief supporting the parents, the Trump administration stated the obvious.
[00:08:56]  Denying parents any say in what their kids are exposed to forces them to choose between their faith and the public school system.
[00:09:06]  That Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris wrote, that is textbook interference with the free exercise of religion.
[00:09:14]  That's the First Amendment.
[00:09:16]  Meanwhile, the school board's defense is predictable.
[00:09:18]  They claim the policy is neutral, that no student is forced to affirm anything, and that letting parents opt out would shred public education.
[00:09:29]  Translation, we know what's best for your kids.
[00:09:31]  You don't.
[00:09:33]  They don't have to affirm.
[00:09:34]  They just have to listen and be contaminated.
[00:09:36]  That's the point.
[00:09:37]  And even worse, the school board argued that it's not enough for parents to feel their religious beliefs are under attack.
[00:09:43]  They must prove literal coercion or punishment.
[00:09:48]  So apparently being told your child will be read stories that contradict your core faith values doesn't count.
[00:09:55]  Now the backlash is growing nationwide.
[00:10:00]  Across the country.
[00:10:02]  Parents are watching this case very closely.
[00:10:05]  If the court rules against these families, it could set a chilling precedent.
[00:10:10]  Will schools be able to slip more ideological content into classrooms without any regard for religious objections?
[00:10:17]  That's the issue.
[00:10:18]  And conservatives see a broader pattern here.
[00:10:21]  Woke ideology, that's right again.
[00:10:23]  Being forced into every corner of public life, while traditional values are mocked and marginalized and branded as somehow white supremacist.
[00:10:31]  The left claims that it's about inclusion, that there's an inclusion problem.
[00:10:38]  Well, where's the inclusion for Christian and Muslim and Orthodox families who just want to raise their kids without government indoctrination?
[00:10:45]  And the court's conservative majority holds the key.
[00:10:50]  Let's pray.
[00:10:51]  With the current conservative-leaning Supreme Court, many believe the tide could turn.
[00:10:56]  If the justices uphold the parents' rights, it could force school boards across the country to rethink curriculum policies and reinstate opt-out provisions.
[00:11:07]  A ruling in favor of the school district, however, could embolden, and this is frightening, left-wing woke radical activists.
[00:11:16]  To push even more radical material into elementary classrooms.
[00:11:20]  Because remember, they want your kids and they want their minds.
[00:11:23]  Leaving families powerless.
[00:11:25]  Justice Samuel Alito, known for his strong stance on religious liberty, hinted at this concern during arguments.
[00:11:32]  He questioned whether the police, excuse me, whether the policy, really respects diverse religious traditions.
[00:11:40]  Justice Amy Coney Barrett asked whether the policy would allow any exceptions for religious belief.
[00:11:47]  Now it's clear that at least some members of the court see this not as a simple education issue, but a constitutional one.
[00:11:54]  So what's at stake here?
[00:11:55]  This isn't just about Montgomery County.
[00:11:58]  This is about whether America still respects religious freedom and parental authority and parental primacy and parental autonomy.
[00:12:07]  Or whether the state will dictate what your child must learn, believe and accept and be exposed to.
[00:12:12]  It's about whether public schools serve families or steamroll them in the name of progress.
[00:12:19]  It's about whether faith still matters in the public square.
[00:12:22]  And it's about whether conservatives are willing to stand up and say, that's enough.
[00:12:26]  Because enough is enough.
[00:12:30]  This is absolutely critical.
[00:12:35]  Absolutely critical.
[00:12:38]  Now they are believing, they are hoping for a decision as expected by the end of June or early July.
[00:12:45]  Until then, families of faith across America wait and pray that common sense and the Constitution in this case will prevail.
[00:12:54]  This is critical.
[00:12:56]  Thank God we have President Trump at the helm and thank God we have this administration.
[00:13:00]  Because if you think this is just about kids, you have no idea.
[00:13:04]  Pay very close attention to this.
[00:13:06]  I'm going to be talking about it as well.
