Case Summary
Parents challenged a public school system’s use of storybooks addressing LGBTQ-related themes and its refusal to provide religious opt-outs. The Court held that the parents had shown a burden on their religious exercise sufficient to support preliminary relief, because the instruction implicated the parents’ authority to direct the religious upbringing of their children. The case returned for application of the proper preliminary-injunction framework.
