美國最高法院審理LGBT書籍爭議案




美國最高法院將審理馬里蘭學區LGBT書籍爭議

(路透社)— 美國最高法院於星期五同意審理一宗由宗教父母提出的請求,要求將他們的孩子排除在馬里蘭州一所公立學校的LGBT故事書閱讀課程之外。這是一起涉及宗教與LGBT權利交集的最新案件。

這宗案件源於蒙哥馬利縣公立學校的家長,他們在下級法院提出要求,希望能在該學區讀取這些書籍時讓孩子選擇不參加,但遭到拒絕。

下級法院駁回了原告的主張,認為學區並未違反美國憲法第一修正案中對宗教自由的保護。

原告反對讓他們的學齡兒童接觸與其羅馬天主教、烏克蘭東正教和穆斯林信仰相違背的教學內容。

擁有6比3保守派多數的最高法院近年來不斷擴大宗教人士的權利,包括涉及LGBT人士的案件。例如在2023年,法院裁定某些企業根據第一修正案的言論自由保護,有權拒絕為同性婚禮提供服務。

馬里蘭學區在2022年批准了一些包含女同性戀、男同性戀、雙性戀和跨性別角色的故事書,這些書籍與課程中已經包含的傳統性別角色的異性戀角色書籍並列。

學區表示,這些書籍是語言藝術課程的一部分,並非性教育內容,內容中不包括性取向或性別認同的教學。

學區在法庭文件中指出:「這些故事書並不比《灰姑娘》和《白雪公主》等講述男女之間浪漫關係的故事更具性教育性。」

隨著要求學生逃避這些課程的請求增加,學區在2023年宣布禁止學生選擇不參加使用這些故事書的教學,但仍然允許在健康課的性教育單元中選擇不參加。

這些提出訴訟的父母由保守派法律團體Becket宗教自由基金會代表,包括Tamer Mahmoud、Enas Barakat、Chris Persak、Melissa Persak、Jeff Roman及Svitlana Roman,以及一個名為Kids First的組織,該組織在蒙哥馬利縣尋求選擇不參加的權利。

位於維吉尼亞州里士滿的美國第四巡迴上訴法院在2024年駁回了他們的初步禁令請求,認為在案件的早期階段,沒有證據顯示這些故事書的實施「直接或間接迫使父母或他們的孩子相信或行動違背其宗教信仰」。

原告告訴最高法院,第四巡迴法院的決定削弱了父母「保護孩子純真和引導其宗教教育」的權利。

目前尚不清楚此案是否會在當前的法庭任期內進行辯論。

評論

這宗案件反映了當前美國社會對於教育內容及宗教自由之間的矛盾與挑戰。隨著LGBT權利逐漸被認可,這對於保守宗教社群造成了不小的衝擊。最高法院是否會支持宗教父母的請求,將可能對未來的教育政策產生深遠的影響,特別是在多元文化教育和宗教自由之間尋求平衡的過程中。這不僅是對法律的挑戰,也是對社會價值觀的考驗。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection. 一隻在香港茶餐廳喝奶茶的貓 Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A female model with sharp features, defined cheekbones, and intense, direct eye contact (though eyes are slightly in shadow from the hat).
• Aesthetic: Vintage fashion, Pin-up, 1950s/1960s style, high-glamour, summer resort wear.
• Lighting: Bright, harsh sunlight creating high contrast and crisp shadows. The light should perfectly illuminate the skin and the vibrant colors of the dress.
• Color Palette: Dominated by vibrant yellow, crisp white, and bold red, accented by deep black.
Specific Outfit & Details:

• Accessories:
• A very large, wide-brimmed sun hat in crisp white (or light straw/fabric) that casts a shadow over the upper face.
• A matching yellow polka-dot scarf tied closely around the neck (like an ascot or choker-style).
• Large, striking black statement earrings (circular, drop, or bead style).
• Bold red lipstick is a key feature, contrasting sharply with the yellow and white.
Technical/Camera Details:
• Shot: Close-up or medium-close-up portrait, focusing on the torso, neckline, face, and hat.
• Depth of Field: Shallow (low f-stop), with the model in sharp focus and the background slightly blurred (bokeh).
• Background: Out-of-focus, suggesting a bright outdoor location, with abstract shapes of boats/yachts (white and red accents visible) in a marina setting.
