The ACLU attacks a West Virginian community

[jackofallgeeks]

This is a (small instance of a larger) hot topic, though I have to confess that I'm really sure why. Particularly in West Virginia. I can maybe acknowledge certain concerns in similar cases elsewhere (though I think they're all rather ridiculous when it comes down to it, my own religious affiliation and thoughts on current interpretation of "separation of Church and State" as far aside as I can consciously put them). But especially in this case, where they were able to raise a couple hundred thousand dollars of private money from the community the school serves in order to fight the suit (with over 6,000 coming from the students themselves)... It seems to me the only one being offended here is the ACLU, who should really leave well enough alone a situation they have no part in.

The ACLU isn't interested in helping people. They're interested in waging war-by-lawsuit on anyone and anything that doesn't toe the line of their social agenda and (not incidentally) enriching their own lawyers in the process.

I've never liked the ACLU

I couldn't have said it better myself.
