Sen. Marsha Blackburn signaled her intention to question Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on education and girls sports during the hearing on her nomination to the Supreme Court.
In her opening remarks, the Tennessee Republican said she frequently hears from her constituents on “the issue of parental rights and wanting to be able to rear their children as they see fit.”
Blackburn brought up efforts to permit or block transgender student-athletes participating in sports on teams opposite their biological sex, how race is addressed in public school curricula, and school mask mandates as a COVID-19 mitigation effort. She questioned whether Jackson has a “hidden agenda” when it comes to what she called the “progressive indoctrination of our children.
Blackburn also raised questions about Jackson's public defense record and allegations from Sen. Josh Hawley that Jackson’s record on child pornography cases in district court was lenient.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
