In March 2017, before Doug Wardlow had won the Republican primary for a shot at becoming Minnesotas Attorney General, he sat in on a meeting of the Anoka-Hennepin School Board. When his name was announced, Wardlow rose to the podium and bid the board members good evening. He told them he was there as a member of Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit legal organization that litigates in defense of free speech and religious liberty in Minnesota and beyond.
He went on to say he was representing parents who were concerned that the district would start letting transgender students use the bathrooms that matched their gender identities. "Boys" should go to the boys facilities, he said, and "girls" to the girls room. Anyone who professed to be transgender could go use a single-stall restroom.
I urge the District to act in accord with the simple reality that there are boys, and there are girls, and boys and girls are fundamentally different in ways that really do matter, he said.
This was just one scene from Wardlows career litigating for Alliance. The legal group formed in 1994 with a solemn vow to protect religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family, according to its website. Its now one of the most powerful conservative Christian legal organizations in the country.
The former one-term Republican legislator representing the Eagan area started working for the Alliance Defending Freedom in 2014; on LinkedIn, he still lists the Alliance as his employer to this day.
And to this day, it remains, by the definition of the Southern Poverty Law Center, an anti-LGBT hate group, supporting the recriminalization of homosexuality of the U.S. and criminalization abroad, defending state-sanctioned sterilization of trans people abroad and claim[ing] that a homosexual agenda will destroy Christianity and society.
