HR 1 of the new Congress is as outrageous an attack on the First Amendment as one will every see. It bears the Orwellian name of "For the People Act." With an insipid name like that you are sure to know it is a total scam. Even the ACLU felt compelled to weigh in: "If enacted, they would...

The Education Department has officially released new rules on how to enforce Title IX, the federal statute that forbids sex and gender-based discrimination in public schools. here is a primer on the new Regs from Washington Post to get you up to speed. Shockingly, the ACLU raised an objection...

I was happy to be greeted by some good news this morning. I love the ACLU... Even when they take positions I don't personally agree with (that is not the case here). http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/11/choose-life-license-plates-ruled-unconstitutional-in-north-carolina/?hpt=hp_t3

The man is openly calling for Muslims to kill Americans. Furthermore, these are not just words (although one could argue that such words alone would justify targeting him on self-defense grounds if others act on those words or could reasonably be expected to act on those words) he is actively...

So I have a son (7) and two step-sons (12 and 10). My step-sons are both members of the Pentacostal church, which is an evangelical sect. Their father wants them raised Pentacostals, and my wife doesn't care, so I am happy to oblige them in their faith. I have taken them to Summer Bible camp...

Didn't see this posted (please correct me if it has been): http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/news_columnist_mikethomas/2009/11/aclu-defends-antiislamic-tshirts-in-schools.html I'm not sure what to think about this. While I'm in no way religious and think kids should be able to wear whatever...

Ads reading "Don't believe in God? You are not alone." weren't even up for a week, but after some complaints they got pulled while church ads continue to run the buses. Now the ACLU wants to know why... Full article: Des Moines Register What's Iowa Governor Chet Culver think? Full article...

Here is the latest in the Kent Hovind tax-protester saga. While Hovind is serving his ten year prison term, it looks like his ill-made creationist theme park built in his home's backyard will be seized. The Hovinds are still using Glen Stoll, king of church trust fraud, as an advisor! Full...

(To the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas) Can't wish you a merry Christmas… Can't wish you a merry Christmas… Can't wish you a merry Christmas and we'll tell you why. The ACLU won't let us… The ACLU won't let us… The ACLU won't let us, so we'll just say “good bye”.

OK, so I make this request in part because this would benefit the community (knowledge shared), and because I could use this link myself:). In another discussion on this forum (I believe it was this forum), in response to some Christian feeling persecuted by the ACLU, a poster linked to a site...

Somehow I fail to feel any sympathy for a man who killed a fellow inmate over a chess game argument by slamming his head into the floor and stomping on his throat. He then took the time to cut a piece of his prison uniform to strangle the man. The article doesn't state why Newton was in prison...

Link. The ACLU has weighed in, as expected: Does that include contraception and abortion?

From the Washington Post: The purpose of this measure? To cut the legs off of groups that seek to remove Nativity scenes and Ten Commandments monuments from public property. The vote was mostly along party lines, Republicans generally favoring it. Although the bill is unlikely to pass the...

This isn't the usual skeptical event,* but for everyone's information, the ACLU's annual membership conference will be held in Washington, D.C. from Sunday, October 15, thought Tuesday, October 17. Information on events and speakers can be found here-- the highlight (from my perspective, anyway)...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/22/AR2006072200643.html?sub=AR My thought on this is, good for the ACLU for standing up for the civil rights of some of the most reprehensible Americans alive, though I think that the Missouri law is probably constitutional.

I just read this news this morning. I don't usually hear many favorable things about the ACLU but here is one: http://www.nj.com/newslogs/starledger/index.ssf?/mtlogs/njo_ledgerupdate/archives/2006_06.html#148180

There was a time when I really admired the ACLU and its work. Then, for a time, I questioned some of its decisions and emphasis, but gave it a the benefit of the doubt because of its past work. At some point, however, the organzation seems to have completely changed. Last year they had the...

I was reading some editorial by some right wing hack. He was going on and on about how wonderful the NRA is cause they defend our 2nd amendment rights from those who would take them away. And I agree. Thing is that hack has also written about the ACLU, and how the are basically enemies of the...
