A Muslim father has claimed that Montgomery County Public Schools are violating religious students' First Amendment rights over a new opt-out policy.
Muslim dad says lack of gender ideology opt-out in Maryland schools holds religious students ‘hostage’
One month later, he co-founded a new organization, the Coalition of Virtue, alongside his wife and friends. The organization of American Muslims works strategically with members of other faith communities to"promote virtue in society," grounded in Islamic tradition. Schools in Maryland must provide parents or guardians the opportunity to view all instructional materials before use. Parents or guardians may remove their children from any or all"Family Life and Human Sexuality" classes. However, this opt-out policy in Montgomery CountyMonib said such an extension is a"small ask" by parents.
"It's that argument just falls flat on its face. And I'm surprised that they attempted to use it. But it tells me that they had no other tactic to use," he added. MCPS Communications Director Christopher Cram told Fox News Digital that the district"cannot accommodate requests for exemptions from required curricular instruction or the use of curricular instructional materials based on religious, and/or other, objections."
"Ninety percent of our religious law, our sacred law, depends on a normative understanding of two sexes," Monib said."So, when you teach our kids that there is no such thing as two sexes, they can't understand anything, their religion, it doesn't make any sense to them. So, it is a clear indoctrination."
