Petition: Tell Congress to Defend LGBTQ+ Books in Schools Now

The U.S. Supreme Court has just ruled 6-3 that parents can opt their children out of classroom lessons featuring LGBTQ+ characters – even when these materials pose no harm. This ruling allegedly opens the door to widespread censorship in public schools, forcing teachers to avoid inclusive content to dodge costly lawsuits.

This decision doesn’t just target books – it sends a chilling message to queer youth that their lives are unfit for the classroom. With many schools underfunded and overstretched, this ruling may lead to self-censorship of any LGBTQ+ content. Lawsuits from right-wing legal groups could follow, pushing queer voices further out of the curriculum.

We need urgent legislation to protect schools and LGBTQ+ students. Sign the petition now and demand Congress fight back. Support bills like Cory Booker’s Fight Book Bans Act to help schools stay inclusive and strong.
