The ACLU has now filed a brief against teachers in Loudon county demanding that they be forced to use pronouns consistent with far-left gender ideology.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Last week, the American Civil Liberties Union, which was founded on the principle of defending Americans’ civil liberties, filed an amicus brief arguing against Loudoun County Circuit Court teachers who have refused to use “gender-affirming” pronouns. The ACLU of Virginia stated, “While the teachers may disagree with the policy, they do not have the right to violate it in their capacity as K-12 teachers in the Loudoun County school system.”
In August, the Virginia Supreme Court issued an order affirming “a lower court’s decision to temporarily reinstate Leesburg Elementary School physical education teacher Tanner Cross after Loudoun County Public Schools suspended him for voicing objections to a proposed policy during the public comment period of a school board meeting.
The lower court ruled that the school district’s actions were likely unconstitutional, and the state high court agreed,” the Alliance Defending Freedom, which represents Cross, reported, adding, “The school board eventually passed a version of the proposed policy discussed at the May 25 school board meeting, which resulted in Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys recently asking the trial court to allow them to amend the lawsuit to challenge that policy on behalf of three faculty members, now including Loudoun County High School history teacher Monica Gill and Smart’s Mill Middle School English teacher Kim Wright. … The new policy forces all of the school district’s students and staff to refer to ‘gender-expansive or transgender’ students using whatever gender pronoun is chosen by the student, regardless of whether the pronoun is consistent with the student’s biological sex.”
The ACLU, on behalf of ACLU Virginia, ACLU, Equality Virginia, Equality Loudoun, Side By Side, and He She Ze and We filed a brief challenging the emergency petition and preliminary injunction request filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of the three teachers.

Left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald slammed what he saw as the ACLU’s hypocrisy for filing a brief to undermine the very freedom of speech which it was founded to defend:
I read this ACLU brief. This is the first time, at least to my knowledge, that ACLU is explicitly arguing in court that the First Amendment's free speech clause has been interpreted *too broadly* by courts, and are advocating *a more restrictive view* of what free speech means. https://t.co/RKfmDVLGw7

How ironic that the American Civil Liberties Union wants to deny people’s civil liberty of speech
ACLU demands Loundon County shut down?? Chap 7
All of this B/S because Hillary and the Democrats lost the 2016 election and did NOT get their GLOBAL GOVERNMENT..doesn’t matter, this is what the PEOPLE wanted !! Anything to destroy this Country and get their own way…
UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL (and we are falling)
Where’s these liberal bunch of shits when it comes to the civil liberties of not allowing mask mandates?
So according to the misguided ACLU a Black person can declare that they are American Indian, a White person can declare that they are Asian, an Asian Asian person can declare that they Hispanic, and a Hispanic person can declare that they are Black… NOT!!
another example of something turning into its opposite. Names should be changed to go with the changes in ideolo-gies and prin-ciples.
Let’s go Brandon! ACLU
Tell the ACLU and other religious bigots to go screw.
