Rep. Black Statement on ACLU Complaint Against Sumner County Schools

Statement

Congressman Diane Black (R-TN-06) issued the following statement in response to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Tennessee's federal complaint against Sumner County, Tennessee schools:

"Washington liberals' campaign to compromise the safety and privacy of our students in the name of hyper-political correctness has now hit our backyard," said Congressman Diane Black. "These days, a complaint by the ACLU is a sure sign you've done something right. From the organization's work to silence expressions of faith in our schools to their attacks on laudable organizations like Boy Scouts of America, they've lost all credibility with Tennesseans and they know it. Nonetheless, if the ACLU wants to pick a fight with our Sumner County educators, then they'll have to pick a fight with me as well. I sent my children to Sumner County public schools. I know our Director of Schools and the Chairman of the Board of Education. I have the utmost confidence in their ability to offer accommodations for transgender students while maintaining reasonable policies that protect the privacy and security of the student population as a whole and I stand with them in the face of this blatantly political complaint."
