Don’t say gay when reading to children in American schools or effective brainwashing may never happen…

‘I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance,’ says Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s Importance of Being Earnest. ‘Ignorance is like a delecate, exotic fruit. Touch it, and the bloom is gone.’ Which might explain the legal challenge concerning the inclusion of LGBTQ+ themed books in elementary school curricula, which is currently being considered by the United States Supreme Court. Representing a group of Maryland parents (you can just imagine the happy households in which they are bringing up their children!), attorney Eric Baxter has articulated their opposition to public schools reading books featuring homosexual and transgender characters to young children.

Appearing on TMZ Live on Wednesday, Baxter explained that the parents aren’t looking to remove the books entirely – thank you for that in the land where they never stop talking about free speech! – but rather want the right for their children to opt out of such readings. Maybe they could also opt out of science, seeing as dinosaurs never existed and God created the world about 150 years ago in the late Victorian era. Baxter highlighted that the content covers topics including sexuality, same-sex marriages, and gender identity, which the group deems too sensitive for elementary school-age students. Stories about fairies in the sky, a God that will smite you for looking at a neighbour’s ass the wrong way and how to sell your daughter into slavery the correct way are A-OK for small children though.

One of Baxter’s key points was the apparent inconsistency in school policy. He noted that while high school students are permitted to opt out of sex education classes, younger children are currently required to participate in reading sessions that address LGBTQ+ themes. The parents’ objections have naturally been based primarily on religious grounds – because if you’re going to brainwash, do it right – according to Baxter, and he emphasised that the dispute centres solely on book readings .

The Supreme Court case is expected to cause quite the stir, with a ruling anticipated soon. The outcome will likely influence how schools across the United States manage the inclusion of LGBTQ+ content in early education settings. News on dinosaurs is still outstanding.

Noah Fact Check Pro

The draft above was created using the information available at the time the story first
emerged. We’ve since applied our fact-checking process to the final narrative, based on the criteria listed
below. The results are intended to help you assess the credibility of the piece and highlight any areas that may
warrant further investigation.

Freshness check

Score:
9

Notes:
The narrative appears to be current, referencing a Supreme Court case expected to draw attention soon. However, online verification of the case’s existence or recent developments was limited.

Quotes check

Score:
7

Notes:
There are no direct quotes from individuals or documents that could be verified as original or from earlier sources. The absence of specific quotes limits the ability to assess originality or context.

Source reliability

Score:
4

Notes:
The information originates from a less established source, raising questions about its reliability. Major news outlets or reputable publications did not appear to be involved in the report.

Plausability check

Score:
8

Notes:
The claim about a legal challenge is plausible, given ongoing debates on education content in the U.S. However, verifying the specific details about the Supreme Court case was challenging without further information.

Overall assessment

Verdict (FAIL, OPEN, PASS): OPEN

Confidence (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH): MEDIUM

Summary:
The narrative involves a current legal issue, but lacks strong verification of specific details. The credibility of the source is uncertain, which impacts confidence in the information. Plausibility is moderate due to ongoing similar debates in education.
