A parental rights organization is criticizing a Southeast Michigan school district after its board voted to change its sex education policy so that parents would not be able to opt students out of learning about gender or sexuality outside of health classes. Parents Defending Education raised concerns over the Dexter Community Schools Board of Education’s sex education policy from its October meeting. The action comes as Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland has removed a parental opt-out option for LGBTQ+ reading materials in elementary classes in a push for inclusivity that has garnered national attention.
