⚖ The Constitutional Angle

Mahmoud v. Taylor entitled religious parents to injunctive relief when a school used curriculum conflicting with their faith. Troxel v. Granville recognized a due process right of parents to direct their children's upbringing against state override. How these principles apply to a school gender-identity policy specifically remains unsettled; the Court has not yet decided such a case on the merits.

Mahmoud v. Taylor 606 U.S. 522 (2025)

Vote: 6-3

Religious parents challenging Montgomery County's introduction of LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks into the elementary English curriculum — combined with its rescission of notice and opt-outs — are entitled to a preliminary injunction.

Troxel v. Granville 530 U.S. 57 (2000)

Vote: 6-3 (4-justice plurality plus Souter and Thomas concurring in the judgment)

Washington's breathtakingly broad visitation statute — '[a]ny person may petition the court for visitation rights at any time,' with visitation grantable whenever it 'may serve the best interest of the child' — violated Granville's due process rights as applied, where a judge overrode a fit mother's offer of limited grandparent visitation based on nothing more than his own best-interest assessment.
