Among the unusual clashes during this week’s Supreme Court case on Maryland LGBTQ school books involved “Pride Puppy!”
During the oral arguments Tuesday in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, Justice Neil Gorsuch pressed Alan Schoenfeld, the laywer representing Montgomery County Public Schools, about the book, and its apparent reference to leather and bondage.
“Pride Puppy!” is a children’s story book about a family dog getting lost in a Pride parade. The book was used in the school district’s pre-kindergarten curriculum. The oral arguments involved at least five LGBTQ-themed childrens books that spanned curriculum of pre-K through the sixth grade.
