NEWS FLASH

Georgia School Board Candidate Targeted For Being Trans-Friendly | Atlanta Board of Education candidate Angela Brown is being targeted for supporting transgender youth as she participates in a run-off election for District 2. A direct mail attack ad alleges that “she says she wants Atlanta School children to cross-dress!” referring to comments she made in an interview supporting students’ right to dress in “gender bending” ways so long as they did not violate the school’s dress code. When her opponent, Byron Amos, was asked the same question, he avoided a direct answer.

Update

Amos has denied responsibility for the mailer.
