Lawyer Eric Baxter argued Wednesday that his defense of Maryland parents seeking to opt their kids out of LGBTQ+ classroom discussions in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor could be a generational opportunity to reaffirm parental rights in education.
Baxter, senior counsel at Becket, a nonprofit religious liberty law firm, spoke to an audience at The Heritage Foundation celebrating the forthcoming 100th anniversary of the Pierce v. Society of Sisters Supreme Court case that enshrined the rights of parents to educate their children outside of public schools.
