ACLU Leader Resigns after Her Daughters Were Frightened by Transgender in Their Bathroom

Ben Johnson : Jun 1, 2016  LifeSiteNews.com

"My children were visibly frightened, concerned about their safety and left asking lots of questions for which I, like many parents, was ill-prepared to answer." -Maya Dillard Smith

The organization's increasing focus on legislating the transgender lobby's concerns pushed Maya Dillard Smith, interim director of the Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, to tender her resignation.

"I have shared my personal experience of having taken my elementary school age daughters into a women's restroom when shortly after three transgender young adults, over six feet [tall] with deep voices, entered," she wrote.

"My children were visibly frightened, concerned about their safety and left asking lots of questions for which I, like many parents, was ill-prepared to answer," she continued.

In a statement, she said that the ACLU has become "a special interest organization that promotes not all, but certain progressive rights."

The "hierarchy of rights" the ACLU chooses to defend or ignore, she wrote, is "based on who is funding the organization's lobbying activities." She did not elaborate on the group's funding.

Dillard Smith is no conservative. She earned a degree in economics from Berkeley and a master's degree at Harvard, while working for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the California Supreme Court.

She is a 2003 graduate of the program Emerge America, which states its "goal is clear: to increase the number of Democratic women in public office."

But this self-described "progressive" who called herself "unapologetically black" cannot go along with the ACLU's transgender legal agenda.
