It's a ‘failure of all of us’ LGBTQ books case is at the Supreme Court, Randi Weingarten says

American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten addresses the Supreme Court case on LGBTQ books and curriculum in classrooms and comments on students’ test scores on ‘The Story.’

The Supreme Court is taking on a high-profile First Amendment case after a Maryland school board withdrew its original opt-out policy for books related to gender and sexuality, prompting a federal lawsuit.

While the high court appears to be siding with parents ahead of the final ruling, American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten shared her misgivings about the case.

"My concern about this case is that it could pit people against each other when what we really need to be doing is we need to be making sure that every one of God's children is accepted in our classrooms," Weingarten said on "The Story" Tuesday. 

"Whether that person is an evangelical Christian or whether that is the daughter or the son of gay parents, that is our obligation in schools. So it's a failure of all of us that this case is in the Supreme Court right now."
