[quote=Anonymous]I put together a summary of the complaints against Arlington Parent Coalition web site here:

I hope this will help people/reporters searching for information recognize that their position is backed by fake "research" sourced from right-wing political groups, and not actual science.

It's frustrating that the local coverage gives them a bullhorn, since it's actually unclear that they represent anything more than the position of one person - "Maria Keffler, Organizer of The Arlington Parent Coalition," according to this article: https://www.localdvm.com/news/virginia/arlington-parent-coalition-says-aps-transgender-policy-is-troubling/

I've never seen any membership list, and I've never seen any other name than that one. But I can't deny she's done a great job of making a lot of noise.

So hopefully this will at least provide some reference and context for people searching for information about the organization in the future.

What I won't do is make make up another fake organization, say, the "Arlington Family Alliance", that presents itself as something more than one person's position.

I fully support Maria's right to fight for her position. What I don't support is her use of misleading/fake studies from think tanks and nationally recognized hate groups and fake surveys presented as data, and presenting herself as a "coalition" without revealing any information about the supposed families she claims to speak for.[/quote]
