Breaking: ENDA Is Back

Andrea Lafferty, President, Traditional Values Coalition (TVC): The Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is back. It is the bill that would allow transgendered teachers into kindergarten classrooms -- and Senator Bill Harkin (D-Iowa) described ENDA as "No. 1 on my committee priority and we're going to move it."

That sounds more like a threat than a promise, doesn't it?

Rather than passing a budget, or decreasing the burden of government on free enterprise, or alleviating the impact of the $16 trillion national debt on America's future -- the U.S. Senate, having apparently solved all the other problems in the world, is now engrossed with the idea that transgenders have the right to teach your children, granting them protected minority status.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is radical legislation that hurts kids and forces schools to hire or retain transgendered teachers in every school district in America -- granting them protected minority status similar to women and racial minorities.

Unfortunately, there are several instances dotted across America where school systems have not only tossed aside parental concerns about transgender teachers making the transition from male to female (or vice versa), they have forced both parents and students to recognize this transition as normal.

Congressional proponents have cloaked ENDA as a non-controversial civil rights bill, enjoying the support of several Members of Congress and the American people.

They are wrong.

Most Members of Congress have no clue how bad this bill is. Even more have no idea that ENDA will force schools to hire transgenders as a “protected class” -- much less what it will do to religious liberty and to children if signed into law.

Children need a stable environment in which to learn -- ENDA deliberately threatens this.

Take a moment and read TVC's white paper on ENDA and learn more about the threat this poses to our families and our communities.

Parents have the sole right to raise their children in an environment of their choosing. For the federal government to force sexually transgendered individuals into the classroom is a sign of the moral illness gripping our nation today. ENDA must be stopped.

TVC will share more on ENDA, and will do everything in our power to stop ENDA from becoming law.
