In 2005, David Parker was arrested and put in handcuffs at his child's school in Massachusetts following an incident involving a lesson promoting homosexuality called the "King & King" which was being taught to the school's first graders.[1][2] Parker tried to exercise his parental rights but the principal at Esterbrook Elementary School in Lexington defended the “King & King” lesson and denied parents the right to be informed about it and to opt their kids out.[1] The "King and King" lesson violated Parker and his wife's religious beliefs regarding homosexuality.[1]
The anti-homosexual agenda organization MassResistance has a webpage devoted to the events surrounding the David Parker incident and the ongoing legal battle associated with the matter.[3]
