Virginia ACLU uses SPLC 'hate group' attack to block school board's transgender policy review
Fox News
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)'s Virginia chapter has adopted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) claim that the Christian legal nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is a “hate group” in an effort to shame the Hanover County School Board into compliance with ACLU's preferred transgender policies.
"The absurdity of this action is beyond belief," ACLU-VA said in a news release. "Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is an extremist conservative religious organization, labeled as an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center since 2016. ADF was classified as a hate group because it supports the idea that being LGBTQ+ should be a crime in the U.S. and internationally."
