This has blindsided me. It had never occurred to me that SCOTUS would use the Uncle Bobby's Wedding case to remove basic health protections from the children in an entire state - and the entire country, eventually? I knew it would have drastic effects on schools and teachers, and it has.

SCOTUS' LGBTQ books decision destabilized secular, public education by effectively giving religious parents a veto over curricula they dislike. I agree with @mtsw.bsky.social that this case could further harm public schools by making them unsafe for many children. The goal here is pretty clear.

Church:  “I discovered Plymouth after I came out in the Minneapolis StarTribune in 2007.  I’d left a faculty position at an Evangelical college  and shocked my family.   My friend suggested I might feel welcome at Plymouth.   I did! The music, prayers, and messages of justice healed me when I thought I no longer had  a religious home.”Same background with soft yellow box and black/ violet text: " From a thank-you letter to Plymouth Cong. Church: “Soon after, I fell in love with Tara, who was also coming out late in life, while in seminary to become a military chaplain. We had to hide our joy in public, but Plymouth was a true sanctuary. You were one of our few safe places. (I hope you forgave our 100-watt smiles and sappy handholding in those first days of new love!)”Same background with soft peach box and black/ violet text: From a thank-you letter to Plymouth Cong.
