The Coalition for Inclusive Schools & Communities and the Montgomery County Pride Family are mobilizing for a powerful rally supporting inclusive education as the U.S. Supreme Court hears the MCPS LGBTQ+ curriculum opt-out case.
This case is a pivotal moment in the fight for educational equity, as it challenges Montgomery County Public Schools' commitment to fostering inclusive, fact-based education. At a time when LGBTQIA+ students and families are facing increased attacks nationwide, we must take a stand to defend access to diverse, affirming learning environments that reflect and respect all identities.
Why This Matters:
Inclusive books save lives — representation in education fosters understanding, reduces stigma, and ensures that LGBTQIA+ youth see themselves and their families reflected in their schools.
The fight for LGBTQIA+ inclusion is a fight for all marginalized communities— the erasure of LGBTQ+ voices in schools is part of a broader attack on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.
We must show up and be heard — this case could set a national precedent, influencing school policies across the country.
Join us to rally, share stories, and send a clear message: We will not be silenced. We will not be erased.
Stay tuned for additional details, including speakers and accessibility information. Let's come together to stand for the future of inclusive, affirming, and equitable education for all!
