Last week the Hanover County School Board voted in favor of allowing the pro-religious liberties legal non-profit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) to conduct a free legal review of the school district’s transgender policies. In response, this week the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Virginia Chapter has alleged that ADF is a “hate group” in a campaign to force the Hanover County School Board to comply with their transgender policies.
- ACLU Virginia sued the school board: claiming that they had violated Virginia law in their failure to adopt rule changes that would allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms in alignment with their identified gender.
- ADF on conducting the review: “The Hanover School Board is committed to carrying out the critical task of providing excellence in education for their students while advancing a culture that respects the dignity and needs of all students and staff,” said senior counsel and ADF vice president Ryan Bangert.
- ADF’s track record: the legal non-profit has won 13 cases that escalated to the Supreme Court in the past 11 years. ADF has defended the rights of Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and people of no faith since it’s inception.
