A handful of Somali parents who hoped to provide better lives for their children in Minnesota are now battling it out with their public school district for teaching 'sexualized topics' without their consent.
First Liberty Institute is representing six Somali-Muslim families who are asking to be notified before their children are instructed on LGBTQ identities, because they say it violates their religious beliefs.
Their children are all aged seven to nine years old, and the majority are in the third and fourth grades.
Attorneys sent a letter Thursday to the school district first obtained by DailyMail.com, saying the district has failed to 'provide notice to parents before controversial issues are taught, or to give an opportunity for parents to review curriculum in advance.'
According to Minnesota state law, the school district must provide parents with notice before 'sexualized topics' will be covered in class. In addition, parents must be allowed to determine if the curriculum is 'consistent' with their religious beliefs, and if it is not, they can choose to exclude their kids from the curriculum.
Several books that the children have already been exposed to against the wishes of their Muslim parents includes: 'My Shadow is Pink, Our Subway Baby, and Ho’onani: Hula Warrior.'
My Shadow is Pink is a rhyming story 'that touches on the subjects of gender identity, self acceptance, equality and diversity,' according to the book's description on Amazon.
