The case covers a parent’s constitutional right to opt their child out of certain classroom materials on the First Amendment grounds that they conflict with his religious beliefs.

The Boston federal judge, F. Dennis Saylor IV, last year granted a preliminary injunction for the “devout Christian” father, Alan L., whose 5-year-old son J.L. attends kindergarten in Lexington.

So this Christian Massachusetts father of a 5 y/o boy initially was granted an injunction based on 1A & religious beliefs to shield his son from alphabet mafia BS at his public school. ...

The judge ordered that the school district and Joseph Estabrook Elementary School “make reasonable efforts to ensure that J.L. is not taught or otherwise exposed to all Other LGBTQ+ Educational Materials identified by plaintiff, whether in the classroom or any other school setting.”

As part of that ruling, the father needed to list all of the books that he wanted his son kept away from.

The school district in response argued that two books should not be listed under LGBTQ educational materials, and the judge this week ruled in support of the district.

So the judge first made the father do the heavy lifting of creating a list of ALL the subsversive books he wanted his boy to be excluded from.

The father does the work, making a list of dozens of such books. The public school board then wastes taxpayer dollars objecting that 2 books on the list shouldn't count, because the gender confusion agitprop is only subtle. They appeal that 2 of their preferred books should be taken off the list and taught to the 5 y/o boy under duress.

The judge agrees, stating that the two books can be taught without consent despite protest. That religious freedom & the 1A can be applied as narrowly as they wish, that the public teachers can curate the gay race communism exclusion list and that parental protest can be overridden by word games.

“Accordingly… defendants are not required to provide an opportunity for plaintiff to opt his child out of classroom instruction using the books Pink Is For Boys by Robb Pearlman and Except When They Don’t by Laura Gehl,” the judge wrote.

Pink Is For Boys features a series of pages that state a given color — “pink,” “blue,” “yellow,” “green,” “red,” “purple,” “brown,” “black,” and “white” — “is for girls. And boys.” The pages have images of a girl and boy taking part in the same activity — playing baseball, running in a forest, and setting up a popsicle stand.

Except When They Don’t features illustrations of young boys and girls taking part in stereotypically gender-appropriate activities, such as “Boys play monster trucks with glee. Girls bake cakes and serve hot tea. Girls like pom-poms, pink, and jewels. Boys like fighting pirate duels.” Then, after listing several similar activities, there’s a page that reads, “Except when they don’t,” with an illustration of a boy or girl doing what’s stereotypically considered the opposite gender’s preferred activity.

...

The attorneys representing Lexington Public Schools said this ruling shows that parents “do not have carte blanche when seeking opt-outs for religious reasons.”

...

“The LGBTQ+ acronym is inherently vague and, as a result, subject to overly broad interpretation by objectors like the parent in this case.

“The judge’s decision underscores the fact that opt-out requests need only be granted when the identified materials directly conflict with parents’ stated beliefs,” the lawyers added.

...

The Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center has been representing the father.

“This lawsuit has forced LPS to opt our client’s child out of over a dozen books that clearly violate his religious beliefs on sexuality and gender identity,” said Sam Whiting, counsel at Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center.

The judge, F. Dennis Saylor IV, according to his Wiki,

  • was appointed by George W Bush
  • as a private attorney, apparently defended US corps for smuggling in Chicom parts
  • worked under Robert Mueller in the 90s
  • sat on the FISA court for 7 years, ending in 2018

The courts are totally zogged; the kids will be out of high school before you even get a ruling.

On the other hand, fuck the laws. They're obviously no longer created or enforced in good faith, so just don't obey. Don't respond to court orders, don't pay fines, don't adhere to restrictions.

What are they going to do? Call the cops, who'll show up hours later, while you walk right in to the lesson and tell the whole class that sex is something you're born with, that you can't change, and should never be treated like a carnival ride? Not like a bunch of AWFLs and soycuck betas could physically stop you.

Stop playing their games. The law can't force them to do their jobs because they don't respect the rule of law, and they don't respect the rule of law because it's become a joke in the West. Live righteously and let the law eat your dust.

Sounds good on paper. Unfortunately: right wingers can be detained indefinitely (Tina Peters, J6), have our bank accounts frozen, our homes foreclosed on, and be assassinated in the media as "nazis" to the point our own won't stand with us. There are few exceptions like Shiloh Hendrix but if the tide is turning it's too slow and too small a scale to make a difference.

Leftists meanwhile can riot, create their own mini-states within states, blatantly disregard laws, attack LEOs and their pet niggers can even murder Whites in broad daylight and get a slap on the wrist. That one nigger just got his sentenced halved by a sheboon judge cuz da system be raciss n sheeit.
