Fort Worth, TX – Stand for Fort Worth supports the State of Texas and ten other states that have filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Education, Department of Justice, and Department of Labor in connection with President Obama’s transgender directive. Undoubtedly, this legal action by the State of Texas casts a dark cloud over the Fort Worth ISD transgender policy – a policy that nearly 80% of Fort Worth residents strongly object to. Fort Worth ISD is the only school district out of nearly 1,270 school districts in Texas that has adopted such a transgender policy, and Superintendent Kent Scribner is the only Texas superintendent who has deceived parents and taxpayers in adopting such a policy.
Zeb Pent, spokesman for Stand for Fort Worth, said, “Superintendent Scribner’s continued defense of his unlawful transgender policy is increasingly belligerent. With 40% of Fort Worth ISD schools failing, the majority of Fort Worth residents are wondering what Superintendent Scribner is hiding by denying open records requests and why he continues to waste human and financial resources on this indefensible policy. If he doesn’t have the humility to admit this policy was a mistake by repealing it immediately, then how can we trust him to educate our kids?”
