a group of youth rights scholars put together a brief on the issue of youth rights for this case. it can be found here:

Shea @sheabaumgarner.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
with the focus on parents’religious rights, mahmoud v. taylor requires that to rule for the parents, the court must surrender its constitutional authority to interpretation of youth rights rights to parents on the basis that yoder forbids kids from having independent thoughts from their parents.
000
Shea @sheabaumgarner.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
people under 18 have long had various first amendment rights. and the use of this quote by the parents to bolster their yoder argument is ignorant to those rights as well as disrespectful of the ability of youth to think freely and critically.

Shea @sheabaumgarner.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
the parents quote the school board saying, “’Any child . . . . may come away from [] instruction’ with ‘a new perspective not easily contravened by their parents.’” while this quote is unfortunately a legal blunder for the school board, the manner in which the parents use it ought to be as well.
100
Shea @sheabaumgarner.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
the focus remains on the parents, because they believe that Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205 (1972) (the case that allows the amish to remove their children from school after a certain point) does not permit schools to read kids queer books without notice.

Shea @sheabaumgarner.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
a main issue with this case is that it focuses on the religious rights of parents. but in the end, the individuals most affected are going to be public school students.

Shea @sheabaumgarner.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
mahmoud v. taylor (whether parents’ religious exercise is burdened when their children are read books pertaining to queer themes in schools because the parents are not provided an opt-out option) oral argument is up today. 🧵

if i ever teach a legal ethics class, the final exam fact pattern will be the plot of emilia pérez, and there will be two questions: 1) what legal work did rita even do? 2) issue spot everything to bring rita before an ethics authority for.

don’t neglect the edges of what you’re working on. sweep a room starting against the walls, start at the crust and work to the middle when topping a pizza, scrub the toilet starting from the top edges of the bowl down to the trap pipe.
