THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Ugh. Bracing for a world where what it taught in school is subject to the tyranny of the most intolerant parent. Education by heckler-veto. Curriculum by the pearl-clutching consensus. And it’s gonna get a whole lot worse.

The school district here previously tried notice-and-opt-out and it was such an administratively unworkable burden they created the policy that was challenged in this case. There was a robust record IN THIS CASE showing that the practical result was no LGBTQ books.
