A recent survey indicates that a vast majority of Americans believe that parents should have the authority to remove their children from public school lessons on gender and sexuality that conflict with their religious beliefs or are deemed inappropriate for their child’s age.
Conducted by the Becket Fund’s annual Religious Freedom Index, the survey found that 77% of Americans agree with the statement: “Parents should be able to opt their children out of public school curriculum on gender and sexuality that violates their religious beliefs or that they believe is not age appropriate.” This figure is an increase from the previous year’s 74%, suggesting a growing consensus on this issue.
The data, which was shared with The Daily Wire before the release of the Religious Freedom Index, highlights a significant public sentiment supporting parental rights in educational content related to gender and sexuality. This comes at a time when schools across the United States are increasingly incorporating such curricula, often without clear options for parents to opt out their children.
The debate over these curricula has gained national attention, with various states and school districts grappling with policies. In Maryland, for example, a group of parents, including both Christians and Muslims, have appealed to the Supreme Court for the right to exclude their young children from lessons on gender and sexuality they find objectionable.
This survey’s findings reflect a broader conversation about the role of parents in educational decisions, especially concerning sensitive topics like gender identity and sexual orientation. As these issues continue to be debated in schools, the public’s stance, as shown in this survey, underscores a demand for parental involvement and choice in educational content.
According to Daily Wire:
The vast majority of Americans believe that parents should be able to opt their children out of gender and sexuality-related curricula that violate their religious beliefs, according to a new survey shared with The Daily Wire.
Data from the Becket Fund’s annual Religious Freedom Index found that 77% of Americans believe parents should be able to opt their children out of curriculum violating their religious beliefs, up from 74% the previous year. Just 23% said they didn’t think parents should be able to opt their kids out for religious reasons.
“Parents don’t take a back seat to anyone when it comes to raising their children,” Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket told The Daily Wire. “This year’s Index shows that a vast majority of Americans believe in this commonsense principle and in every parent’s right to excuse their children from classroom lessons that violate their faith.”
“Our nation is best when we empower parents, not the government, to decide what’s best for their children,” she added.
Becket has requested the Supreme Court to hear a case featuring a coalition of Maryland parents, including both Christians and Muslims, who want to be able to opt their elementary school-aged students out of instruction on gender and sexuality. The parents argue that the Montgomery County School Board is violating their religious beliefs by forcing children as young as three to read books about transgenderism, pride parades, and preferred pronouns.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
