What happens when parents challenge the inclusion of books in the school library, and the school engages in its clearly stated procedures? How should we balance parents’ rights and students’ rights? How quickly can a school board reverse one of its own decisions? Well, this one wasn’t as quick as the reversal in the Mahmoud case (which was like 24 hours). This one was like a month, but still. Today, we’re covering a case that was ruled on in April out of New York. This case involved library books being challenged, a subsequent review process taking place, and a board decision to ultimately keep the books on the shelves. Teachers and school leaders, this is an excellent case, and it shows what can happen when a robust school board procedure is followed properly. This is the case of Moms for Liberty of Wayne County v NY State Education Department. Spoiler Alert: Moms for Liberty lost this one. Listen to find out why! We also talk about updates to the ongoing litigation on Louisianna's Ten Commandments law as well as the Kluge v. Brownsburg case involving the teacher who was fired for refusing to use transgender students' names and pronouns.
