A prince lassos a dragon, saving a knight in shining armor from certain death. But the prince slips and as he falls, the knight and his steed race to return the favor.
Then the two men fall in love.
That story, “Prince and Knight,” is one of five children’s books featuring LGBTQ characters and aimed at kindergarten through the fifth grade that have roiled a diverse suburban Maryland school district and led to a Supreme Court case that the justices will hear on Tuesday.
Parents in Montgomery County who object for religious reasons want to pull their children from elementary school classes that use the books.
This is sickening, it’s not a violation of faith to be taught something. What they really are complaining about is that it doesn’t comply with their Christian religious indoctrination, so they are afraid their indoctrination will fail.
These parents are literally insane, letting their delusions about a god that doesn’t exist, cloud their judgement in ways that are harmful to their children, themselves and society.
These delusions are so harmful it is comparable to a schizophrenic having a psychosis.
Claiming this is harmful is akin to claiming it is harmful to teach an atheist about Buddhism.
