Atlanta School Board candidate Angela Brown once made a supportive statement about a transgendered student.

Now, an unknown culprit has sent out a mailer about candidate Brown claiming that she cannot be trusted around children.

The copy at the top reads "Would you trust your children with someone like this?" and then proceeds to inform the voter that Angela Brown "wants Atlanta School children to cross-dress!"

The quote refers to an interview Brown gave when asked if she would support a male student who wanted to wear a dress to school.  Her response was "[Not] when it violates school policy, we have to adhere to the school policy. But whether it's pink hair or gender bending on issues of dressing, I am definitively supportive of students doing that."

./sigh seems like a pretty innocuous comment to me. I didn't really get the impression that she was 'pro-trans' at all.

Oh Citizens United, I love your lack of responsibility.
