Mahmoud v. Taylor

Mahmoud v. Taylor Supreme Court LGBTQ Opt-Out Case — Mahmoud v. Taylor is the landmark 2025 U.S. Supreme Court case involving parents who sought religious opt-outs from LGBTQ-inclusive materials used in Montgomery County, Maryland public elementary schools.

In a 6–3 decision issued June 27, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the challenged no-opt-out policy burdened the parents’ religious exercise and ordered preliminary relief allowing notice and opt-outs while the litigation continued.

The ruling has become an important precedent in subsequent disputes over parental religious rights, LGBTQ-inclusive education and public-school curriculum.
