	FrontPage magazine.com :: You Can't Say That! by David E. Bernstein
		In 1983, for example, the ACLU filed a Supreme Court amicus brief against Bob Jones University, arguing that it was appropriate for the school to be stripped of its tax exemption by the IRS because of the university's (purportedly) religion-based ban on interracial dating.
		The ACLU argues-albeit not persuasively-that the Scouts is not truly a private organization, because it benefits from indirect government subsidies, such as the free use of public school facilities.
		The ACLU also filed successful lawsuits against state university speech codes in Wisconsin and Michigan, and was active in defending neighborhood activists from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development's charges that their political activities constituted illegal housing discrimination.

	National ACLU Policy on Plural Marriage
		As with the advocacy of political doctrines, a line must be drawn between expression of belief and the actual practice of an act which has been proscribed by the community through its legislative representatives (the test of a “clear and present danger”).
		The ACLU of Utah has traditionally advocated that personal relationships between consenting adults are protected by the Constitution, and that freedom of religion and freedom of expression are fundamental rights.
		The ACLU believes that criminal and civil laws prohibiting or penalizing the practice of plural marriage violate constitutional protections of freedom of expression and association, freedom of religion, and privacy for personal relationships among consenting adults.

	ACLU-NCA
		Neighborhood organizations and the ACLU have been pushing the police to use scarce law enforcement funds to put more trained, community-sensitive police in the neighborhoods.
		Some officials, however, appear to be trying to use video cameras as a new dodge to cover the failure to police the neighborhoods; their new excuse is "wait until we get cameras." But using cameras to fight crime--is a waste of money, diverts neighborhood complaints for another year or two.
		The ACLU believes that inadequate police presence will only be solved by finally making good on the city's promise for adequate police.

		Two supervisors, however, said their offices were bombarded with phone calls and e-mails after the decision was made, including from a conservative legal group offering to represent the county for free.
		The seal “prominently depicts a Latin cross, a sectarian religious symbol that represents the beliefs of one segment of the county’s diverse population” and is an “impermissible endorsement of Christianity” by the county government, the ACLU Foundation of Southern California said in a letter to county officials this week.
		Wizner said the ACLU was mindful of budget pressures facing the county and was willing to be flexible about a transition period for removal of the cross from the seal.

		Fox News host Bill O'Reilly labeled the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) a "terrorist group" for filing a lawsuit against Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and for opposing Bush administration anti-terrorism measures that the group believes are unconstitutional.
		The lawsuit accuses Rumsfeld of approving illegal interrogation methods that led to the torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. military custody; the ACLU also believes that measures such as federal "no-fly" lists and expanded investigative and surveillance powers for federal law enforcement under the USA Patriot Act are unconstitutional.

	Progressive, The: The ACLU's Tobacco Addiction - American Civil Liberties Union receives donations from tobacco ...
		One was that the ACLU had never told its membership-not in its quarterly newsletter, not in fundraising letters--of its continuing solicitation and acceptance of tobacco money.
		The article included this quote from Melvin Wulf, who was the ACLU's legal director from 1962 to t977 and who had argued ten cases for the ACLU in the Supreme Court: "The justification that the [tobacco] money is used to support workplace rights is a sham.
		While the ACLU's executive director was denouncing me, its president was hailing me in her invitation, albeit impersonally, as a "Dear Friend of Freedom." Indeed, thanks to mailing lists, she did so five times, most recently in mid-October.

	Christianity attacked by ACLU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		When the ACLU files a suit against a municipality/county/school district or any other entity that receives tax money, and the case is a "civil rights issue", if they win their judgment, the taxpayers, according to the civil rights law, pay their expenses.
		It is time, and past time, to call the ACLU to account for their soft (or maybe not so soft) bigotry, using the same "hate crime" laws they were so instrumental in getting into the statutes of various states.
		I think the answer is to put what the ACLU is doing second and go for the jugular vein by lobbying Congress to place a referendum on the next national election to make the ACLU a political party or 527 type of group and make their donations become private donations taxable by the Federal Government.

	WorldNetDaily: Pull plug on ACLU
		That was the excuse the ACLU used when it targeted the Boy Scouts use of military bases in a case in which the Pentagon caved into the neo-Talibanists of secular humanism.
		But the dirty little secret the ACLU doesn't want you to know is that it, too, received significant funding of its jihad against Judaism, Christianity and the monotheistic roots of Western Civilization from the federal, state and local governments.
		With the ACLU intimidating the Pentagon into refusing to sponsor Boy Scout troops and attempting to outlaw Christmas displays in public places, WND is giving away FREE – for a very limited time – its acclaimed report "THE MYTH OF CHURCH-STATE SEPARATION," which annihilates the notion that the Constitution ejects religion from government.

		Judge Babcock found that the law, which required all public school students and teachers to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of every school day, was very likely to be found in violation of the Constitution.
		Barnette (1943), Judge Babcock agreed with the ACLU's arguments that the Colorado Pledge law was likely to be found unconstitutional because the First Amendment prohibits government from forcing people to participate in speech against their will.
