Court upholds dismissal of suit over schools' same-sex teaching

January 31, 2008

BOSTON—A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld
the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Lexington parents who
objected to same-sex families being discussed in their
children's elementary school classrooms.

Tonia and David Parker of Lexington sued school officials
in April 2006 after their son brought home a book from
kindergarten that depicted a gay family. Joseph and Robin
Wirthlin joined the suit after a second-grade teacher
read the class a story about two princes falling in love.

In a ruling Thursday, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
agreed with a judge who ruled in February 2007 that
parents' rights to exercise their religious beliefs are not
violated when their children are exposed to contrary ideas
in school.

"Any teaching of racial equality is a violation of my right to teach my children to hate non-whites; therefore I demand that schools stop teaching against racism."
