Although I consider the ACLU a necessary evil I do believe that they have become too political over the years and yes they have done some stupid stuff. This is one of them.

Someone ought to sue the ACLU for saying “Government funded”.
That is an outrageous lie. Government doesn’t fund anything.

The proper term is “paid for by money taken forcibly from taxpayers”.
