Montgomery County Public Schools attorneys argued to the Supreme Court that courts have long held that "mere exposure to controversial issues in a public-school curriculum does not burden the free religious exercise of parents or students." Still, the attorneys stood by the school system’s decision to incorporate what they described as a "handful of storybooks featuring lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer characters" for use in language arts lessons.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the case in April, and a decision is expected in the coming weeks.
Also on Moms for Liberty’s radar is United States v. Skrmetti, one of the most closely watched cases of the court’s term.
The case arose from the Biden administration suing over a bill Tennessee passed in 2023 to ban puberty blockers and hormone therapy as treatments for minors who identify as transgender. The Supreme Court is now poised to decide within the next few weeks if states can restrict such medical treatments for minors.

"Special interest and progressive activists still try to agitate for the government to override moms and dads in education," McMahon said. "Whether it’s through ideological indoctrination, sexually explicit curriculum, or hiding health and safety risks from parents, the progressive left always wants to come between you and your kids."
The speakers' remarks could be heard clearly over livestreams online, but in person in front of the Supreme Court building, they were drowned out entirely by a single protester screaming profanities and bashing a string of officials, including McMahon, Justice Clarence Thomas and President Donald Trump.

Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., elicited laughs when she thanked the protester, who was holding a sign reading "Let's TACO ‘bout tariffs," a reference to an acronym Democrats’ adopted for "Trump Always Chickens Out."
"I'd also like to thank our lone protester for highlighting the mental health crisis in our country. Bless your heart, as we would say in the South," Cammack said.
