The Supreme Court took up a new dispute on the tensions between LGBT rights and religious rights by agreeing to hear a claim made by parents of elementary school students in Maryland who objected to books available in classrooms concerning gender transition and same-sex relationships.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case involving religious parents' request to exempt their children from classes featuring LGBT storybooks in a Maryland school. The case explores the conflict between religious rights and LGBT inclusion in education.

In the 'Pride Puppy' alphabet book, kids chase a dog through a pride parade. 'Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope,' is a about a transgender boy.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear a bid by religious parents to keep their children out of classes in a Maryland public school district when LGBT storybooks are read, the latest case to come to the justices involving the intersection between religion and LGBT rights.

The US Supreme Court said it will consider whether a Maryland school system is violating the Constitution by incorporating LGBTQ-friendly books into the elementary school curriculum without giving parents the right to opt out.
