John Sexton at Hat Hair, Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Can Parents Opt Young Kids Out of LGBT Readings?

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in a case arising out of Montgomery County, Maryland. The case was brought by a group of religious parents who asked lower courts for the right to opt their kids out of the reading of certain LGBT-themed books which were being read in classrooms with children as young as 5-years-old.

The parents argue that Montgomery County schools had long allowed parents to opt their kids out of instruction involving sex and family life but claim that changed after there was a backlash to the adoption of the LGBT books in 2022.

Fox 45 Baltimore,  Former Maryland DJS employee indicted on 57 felony child sex abuse charges

A former Maryland Department of Juvenile Services employee accused of molesting dozens of boys at a state facility in Baltimore County decades ago was indicted on 57 felonies Monday.

Ronald P. Neverdon was initially arrested on 38 related charges earlier this month, a few weeks after being accused in a lawsuit of abusing 69 boys from the 1960s through the 1990s. The 78-year-old Baltimore man was initially denied bail because of the proximity of children to his retirement community, but was later allowed to reside with a relative in Woodstock while he awaits trial.
. . .
According to the DJS lawsuit, Neverdon worked in different roles at the Charles H. Hickey Jr. School, a youth detention facility near Loch Raven, for approximately three decades. During that time, as a housing supervisor and manager, he allegedly “bribed” and coerced children with “special privileges” to exploit them, the complaint states.

How do you hide that for 30 years?
