Republican nominee for County Executive using a Family Research Council propaganda website to advance his campaign.

Yesterday I saw this Facebook post from Reardon Sullivan, the Republican Candidate for County Executive in Montgomery County:

I am disheartened that Montgomery Country Public Schools will prohibit school staff from disclosing students’ transgender identity to their parents. Parents MUST have the right to know about anything regarding their children’s possible gender transition.

Montgomery County used to have the best schools in the nation. Our schools are not preparing our students for the future.

Currently we don’t have any schools in the top 100 nationwide. We have high schools like Watkins Mill that are graduating 81% percent of their students, but only 3% are proficient in math, per U.S. News and World Report. This is unacceptable.

We must tone down social justice and ramp up STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). We need to focus on the basics of education by challenging each child to ensure he/she is college- or career-ready upon graduation.

The post links this "report" from an outfit calling itself The Washington Stand.

If you click on The Washington Stand, you will see categories of reports on Abortion, Biblical Worldview, Marriage, Gender Identify.  And if you scroll down,  you will see that it is an arm of the Family Research Council:  

ABOUT

The Washington Stand is Family Research Council’s outlet for news and commentary from a biblical worldview. The Washington Stand is based in Washington, D.C. and is published by FRC, whose mission is to advance faith, family, and freedom in public policy and the culture from a biblical worldview. We invite you to stand with us by partnering with FRC.

In the early years of this Century, the Family Research Council and related groups, like PFOX (Parents and Families of Ex-Gays), and Liberty Counsel, targeted the Montgomery County Public Schools for taking the then-rare step of actually addressing LGBTQ+ matters. These efforts included the 2010 fielding of a stealth anti-gay Board of Education candidate who appeared headed to election until her deep involvement with anti-gay groups was exposed. See Curriculum Victory Montgomery County (pp. 8, 18, 24 and 15-16). 

Now, it appears that allies of the FRC are targeting Montgomery County once again.  

We do not yet know for certain who the Democratic nominee for County Executive will be. But whichever candidate is your favorite, we must unify to expose and resist the candidate from the other Party.
