Maya Dillard Smith, interim director of the Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, has resigned over the ACLU’s position on who can use which public restrooms. The resignation occurred after her two daughters were traumatized by encountering men in the women’s restroom. Dillard Smith explained:
"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. 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."
Dillard Smith complained that the ACLU has become “a special interest organization that promotes not all, but certain progressive rights” and that the “hierarchy of rights” the ACLU chooses to defend or ignore is “based on who is funding the organization’s lobbying activities.” Further expressing her disillusionment, Dillard Smith stated:
"I understood it to be the ACLU’s goal to delicately balance competing rights to ensure that any infringements are narrowly tailored, that they do not create a hierarchy of rights, and that we are mindful of unintended consequences. I believe there are solutions that can provide accommodations for transgender people and balance the need to ensure women and girls are safe from those who might have malicious intent."
Unfortunately, as she has learned, Dillard Smith’s view of the ACLU bears little relation to reality. The ACLU’s goal — like that of the LGBT movement — is to shove a radical agenda down the throats of the American people, not to balance rights and find reasonable accommodations.
A transgender activist — a biological male who goes by the name Cheryl Courtney-Evans — responded to Dillard Smith’s resignation by calling her “lazy,” “ill-educated,” and a “b–ch” who needs to sit down and “STFU.” No one who has seen LGBT activists in action will be surprised by this charming response.
Actually, Dillard Smith is well educated. She earned a degree in economics from Berkeley and a master’s degree at Harvard.
She’s also a liberal Democrat. And until she resigned, she was one of the youngest ACLU directors in the nation and one of only three African-Americans employed by the ACLU in that role.
These days, one hears intelligent people assert that the “culture war” is over. It isn’t, and won’t be soon, because the left will keep looking for new cultural battlegrounds. Today, public restrooms; tomorrow, the world.
ACLU supporter? Worse should have happened.
Anyone who supports the ACLU should get everything they deserve.
You sow the wind you reap a whirlwind. About time their wicked ways caught up with any of them.

Look! A n00bie troll.
It’s the same story.
I’ve always said that liberals need to experience their bad ideas on a very personal basis before they would reconsider them.
I just wish we could separate them from the rest of us so we don’t have to experience their bad ideas on a first hand basis, because we already know they are bad ideas.

Liberals are spoiled children: they want stuff for the sake of wanting stuff, and are never happy with what they receive. The moment they get their way, they want something else.
The best way to deal with them is the way you would deal with a spoiled child: just say no. Once they finish throwing their tantrum, they will feel safe again—the world has rules and limits, which is what all spoiled children really crave and why they act up.
It’s still the same story.
Two thousand zero zero party’s over, I’m outa time.
Tonight I’m gonna POTTY like its 1999.
Oh brother, never thought I would type that in jest to what a president of the US has done.
Democrat accomplishments:
JFK put men on the moon.
Obama put men in your daughters’ bathroom.
Guess which one you helped, Ms. Smith.
+1,000
New definition of a gun rights supporter ... a liberal who’s been dragged through a pool of water by a baboon that was subsequently shot in the head by a zookeeper.
You’re right - and look what they got by supporting Obama (to stick it to “The Man”). Outside of legal victories for sexual deviants, most Obamunists are much worse off than 8 years ago. The government worker caste is Hillary’s only hope of even beating Sanders (never mind Trump)...
Like we didn’t see this happening.
where are the feminists to denounce his "TRANSplaining" to the "little women"?
Actually, it was Nixon who sent men to the moon. JFK challenged America to put a man on the moon, but he was killed before he had a chance to do it.
What do you Expect when You Embrace Evil??? God Leaves us to our Own Destruction and you X-ACLU Leader are only reaping the Fruits you have sown! (By the way this is in Georgia!)
God and Morals, Nature Law will Always Win in the End, The only question is how foolish men will be before they succumb to their own destruction!
The Darkness is here, Evil is about! Whom will you Serve? There is No Middle Ground, a choice to not choose is the sin of Apathy, Slothfulness which is a Choice of Evil!
The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation.
