The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday, April 21st, in the case of Mahmoud v Taylor, a case in which a group of Maryland parents are using religious justifications to advocate that their children not be exposed to books that portray LGBTQ families in schools. We’ll speak with Sarah S. Brannen, the author and/or illustrator of two dozen children’s books, including “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding”, which is one of the books listed in the Supreme Court case Mahmoud v. Taylor. We also speak with Sarah & Ian Hoffman, authors of a series of childrens books about a character named Jacob. Their book “Jacob’s Room to Choose” is one of the books listed in the Supreme Court case Mahmoud v. Taylor.
