School lawyer triggered by justice’s observations about sex-themed children’s book * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Neil Gorsuch

Alan Schoenfeld is the lawyer hired by school officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, to defend their agenda to select explicit sex books and force children as young as three or four years old to study them.

And he got triggered when a Supreme Court justice, Neal Gorsuch, expressed observations that would be typical, given the material at hand.

Schoenfeld interrupted and objected, multiple times, when Gorsuch was explaining his perception of the book, “Pride Puppy,” which formerly was used in the district but apparently now isn’t.

The fracas arose during this week’s oral arguments in a lawsuit brought by Muslim, Christian and Jewish parents against the district’s decision to force that indoctrination on children, and refuse parents their rights to opt their kids out of such offensive material.

The district does allow opt-outs for other objectionable subjects, but refused to allow parents the same rights in this situation.

Hear the confrontation:

A report at Fox News explained Gorsuch was asking Schoenfeld about the book “that tells the story of a family celebrating Pride Day when their dog gets lost.”

It leads readers to hunt for and identify items starting with the letters of the alphabet, incorporating words promoting the LGBT agenda.

Responding to Gorsuch’s question, Schoenfeld confirmed “Pride Puppy” was used for pre-kindergartners, but no longer is.

“That’s the one where they’re supposed to look for the leather and things – and bondage – things like that,” Gorsuch said.

Schoenfeld, clearly upset, interrupted. “It’s not bondage. It’s a woman in a leather…”

Gorsuch brought up another logical observation: “Sex worker?”

“No. That’s not correct. No,” said Schoenfeld.

Gorsuch said, “Gosh, I read it…drag queen?”

Schoenfeld said the leather reference actually is to a leather jacket, but confirmed, “one of the words is drag queen.”

A lawyer for the plaintiff parents said the school is violating the First Amendment by denying parental requests to opt their children out of indoctrination subjects that ‘contradict their religious beliefs.”
