No. The judges impose, the parent just provides the excuse.
To be accurate, you would not be ignoring the ACLU, but ignoring a court order. The ACLU in itself is not the problem. It's the government and the insistence of avoiding even a hint of government favorability to religion (let alone an 'establishment' of religion) over and above the protection of the free exercise of religion.
...but illegal aliens should go free.

And child molesters...don't forget them.
I have to work harder to keep up with all the new rules!
"That's good, but if you attack their funding and counter sue them with big time lawyers with lots of resources each and every time they get crazy they will fade into the woodwork."
Yes, DEFY and COUNTER-SUE! Class actions! Tie-up the Basturds in Appeals Court! Blast their propaganda. Blitz letters to the government re: Funding, and (heh!) force the the Media to cover our protests! Protest the "ACLU Communist Party." The ACLU members are trained bullys and neurotic brats! UnAmerican and UnCivil Union against American! BLOG the hell out of them. Educate the community.
I'm angry as hell! Whew...
"I think that a taste of civil disobedience will and total defiance of the ACLU judgments is far past due. Amen."
Amen...So be it...
"Yes, defiance.....organized defiance.... is the way to go about it. Let Americans see pictures being broadcast over Fox of innocent Americans be hauled off to jail because of prayer even as sadomasochistic pedophiles walk freely amongst us raping and killing children."
Right on! Organized, rational with the cool-heat of conviction.
"I don't like the generic term ACLU. What is the name of the person who filed these charges? Who is the ACLU lawyer defending the charges? Maybe when the community learns of the names of these goofballs, they will be ostracized and maybe even castrated!!!!!"
***ACLU is the equivalent to the KBG and the GESTAPO. Can you imagine! ACLU members monitored the Minutemen at the borders! DISGUSTING! Especially because the ACLU backs Anti-American "Peace" Protests. The ACLU engineers riots to give weight to their false claims that America is a "police state".
You have a good idea - name/expose the names! BTW, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg is a former ACLU attorney. How many of our politicians, many of whom have law degrees and legal experience, worked for the ACLU? How many judges?
We need full disclosures. Needless to say, I would never vote for anyone associated with the ACLU. Accuse me of making a "guilt by association" or "discrimination" - YEP! MY right.
The liberal mantra - if you tell a lie enough, people start believing it.
In this case - it's just proof that the courts are not always right.
The closest thing to truth MIGHT be something like this:
"We missed you in class."
DING DING DING!!! We have a WINNER!!!!!!!
The #1 issue that got the ball rolling as far as the downfall of public schools, was the growing influence of outside sources on LOCAL schools. IT use to be up to the local people what they wanted their kids to learn. People had a lot more interest (and investment in) their local schools. But then Big Brother government (both state and then Federal) stepped in and have destroyed the public schools.
Who pays the vast majority of the cost of local schools? Who's kids go to those schools? Who should make such decisions as this for the same schools. That should be enough right there.
OF course - what really keeps getting overlooked in these debates - the fact that our own FEDERAL GOVERNMENT back in the earliest days of our country actually bought thousands of Bibles for use as TEXTBOOKS in PUBLIC SCHOOLS. I don't guess our founding fathers had a problem with the use of the Bible in school. And I honestly believe that most of those guys were FAR more intelligent and caring about this country (seeing as how many of them paid in blood for the US) than ANYONE in our Federal Government today.
OK - I'll step off my soapbox for now. The Preacher is coming out again.
I'm glad you are angry as hell. That's what it takes. There are way too many out there that are not angry as hell. Keep up the good work.
Remember how the Red Army troops refused their orders to open fire on Yeltsin and the protesters in Moscow? Thus began the revolution. Mayhaps if our Federal Marshalls would also reject lawless orders...disempowering a judicial establishment which continues to encroach on executive as well as legislative power...the entire edifice of their power-grab would come crashing down.
Let's pray for their courage.
"I'm glad you are angry as hell. That's what it takes. There are way too many out there that are not angry as hell. Keep up the good work."
The "STAND" begins with grass roots activism - person to person; people to people. Facts nor slurs; reason not zealousness. Facts and reason garnished with outrage.
Apathy is hell.
