Thread: IS THE ACLU SWITCHING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT?

First they are defending Jim Gilchrist and now this:

Anti-Islam T-Shirt Ban Prompts ACLU Lawsuit
Islam is of the Devil.

That is the T-shirt slogan that instigated a hailstorm of debate in Gainesville, Fla., about where to draw the line between offensive speech and speech that is intended to incite harm or violence. The T-shirts in question were worn to school by students of varying ages from elementary to high school.

Initially, students — all members of the Dove World Outreach Center, a Christian church — went to school wearing shirts with “Jesus answered ‘I am the way and the truth and the life; no one goes to the Father except through me’â€

Very Interesting.

You gotta be kidding. Of course not! The ACLU has a preponderance of opposing positions of any group that does not fit into their liberal definition of expanded legal interpretation.

I too was surprised by the reaction from the ACLU. But seriously. These shirts are not harmiong anyone and I am sure they do not stop the children from learning in school. What really stops their learning is the "dumbing down" that is going on in our public school systems.

They did not want to get involved when my relative's case. She was an immigrant and met the criteria to go to Miami Dade College with in state tuition and was told she was an international student and same with a Jamaican but illegals from Spanish speaking countries were not. In fact there was recently another case involving illegals who whose parents were deported and the kids were allowed to stay where the kids went to Miami Dade College.

Quote:
"In an attempt to prevent litigation, the ACLU submitted 27 different slogans that the students wanted to wear and asked the district which would be banned — the district refused to offer any guidance."

What an absolutely tragic waste of time and money for this school district to have to expend on what should be an issue decided by local administrators and/or their school board. The African American Civil Rights Movement has fulfilled its purpose of racially integrating our public schools. Now professional litigators such as the ACLU, the ADL, MALEDF, and American Association of Immigration Lawyers should take their briefcases somewhere else and get their never-ending pseudo "civil rights cases" out of our schools!

Somehow I think the ACLU makes money off all these law suits. How much of the settlement is going to ACLU? It seems to me that they sue over any tiny little thing.
