Washington,D.C. – Moms for America® applauds the United States Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor, which firmly protects the rights of parents to shield their children from classroom materials that conflict with deeply held religious beliefs. Furthermore, we commend recent analysis from Fulton County Speaks emphasizing the escalating threats to religious liberty in public schools.
In a powerful 6–3 decision on June 27, 2025, the Court held that public schools may not force elementary school children to participate in LGBTQ instruction without notice or an opt-out option, ruling it a breach of the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause.
“This ruling reaffirms what every parent knows: we are best equipped to guide our children’s moral and religious upbringing, not overreaching school policies,” said Kimberly Fletcher, Founder and President of Moms for America. “No government should have the power to undermine faith or impose lessons that violate a parent’s choice.”
This decision comes at a crucial time amidst rising pressure from the American Academy of Pediatrics to eliminate religious exemptions for school-required vaccinations, another alarming infringement on parental and religious liberties.
“This isn’t just about textbooks or vaccines, it’s about protecting the foundational rights of parents everywhere,” Fletcher added. “This decision sends a clear message: parental choice matters. Moms for America stands ready to defend that right.”
