the aclu is really revealing what and who they are in this case, which is taking place in the school system in which rape by a boy in a skirt is seemingly acceptable;

Instead of defending free speech, the American Civil Liberties Union has defended a school board in Virginia, which is facing a lawsuit from three teachers who got fired for refusing to use transgender students’ preferred pronouns.

“BREAKING: Three teachers in Loudin county are going to court simply because they don’t want to use trans & nonbinary students’ pronouns,” ACLU of Virginia wrote on Twitter. “We and partners filed an amicus brief to tell the court: Refusing to use a student’s pronouns because of who they are is discrimination.”

The Loudoun County school district, in Virginia, passed a policy forcing staff members to use the pronouns preferred by a student. In May, a teacher, Byron Cross, refused to comply with the policy, and was placed on administrative leave.

The policy states that staff in the school district “shall allow gender-expansive of transgender students to use their chosen name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence, regardless of the name and gender recorded in the student’s permanent educational record.”

It adds that “School staff shall at the request of a student or parent/legal guardian… use the name and pronoun that correspond with their gender identity.”

Cross sued, and has since been reinstated as the lawsuit continues.

ACLU’s brief claims that: “The Policy includes provisions requiring teachers to use students’ gender-affirming pronouns, which is crucial to the mental health and well-being of trans and gender-expansive children.”

The organization added that teachers should not violate the policy because it “protects trans and gender-expansive students from discrimination, and necessitates equal treatment of all students in Loudoun County.”...........read more........
