"Parents don't get to say I don't want you to teach evolution or this, that, or whatever else," said James Esseks, litigation director for the ACLU's Lesbian and Gay Rights Project. "If parents don't like it, they can home school, they can go to a private school, they can go to a religious school."

And so rational, caring, scientists, hearing that ACLU Gay militants are using evolution to justify behavior that attacks little kids have, ahem, what to say in response??? Oh, that's right: the Creationists who deny Evolution and its necessary instruction to kids are the worst threat to the GOP bar none".

To Mr. Esseks: I hear you buddy, loud and clear. Check box Home School is marked just fine....

Often WND is nuts, but this article is a good one...

I can understand the democrats supporting the ACLU but why dont the Republicans start to take on these guys? This is why Bush etal. RINOs are losing support of his base - he has forgotten why we worked so hard to get him there.

Mr. President if you care about America you will quit with the double speak and stop the ACLU, enforce the border and quit appeasing the terrorists. Time to get tough

Get the government out of schools and the ACLU has a lot less fodder to feed on.

The ACLU is the Taliban Of American law. Its the Anti Civil Liberties Union.

Abortion is a medical procedure, and a potentially dangerous and damaging one. Therefore, I would like to know what the ACLU position is on the following: a young man, age 14, decides that the world is so awful that he doesn't want to ever bring children into it, so he seeks a vascetomy from his family physician. Should the doctor bother to mention this to the parents? A young girl, age 14, feels the same way and seeks a tubal ligation from her family physician. Should the doctor tell her parents? A young person, age 14, is suddenly felled by an attack of appendicitus and is rushed to the hospital. Does the hospital no longer need a written permission to operate? What other surgical procedures on youth do ACLU sanction without any parental involvement?

The ACLU is a truly demented organization.
*They have fought everything that promotes character, including taking on the National Honor Society for have good character as on requirement for membership.
*They hate children and have supported pedophiles.
*The mention of God sends them into a frenzy. They have attacked people and organizations daring to hold voluntary prayers.
*They have used the threat of lawsuits - legal extortion - to force people to comply to their dictates.

"If parents don't like it, they can home school, they can go to a private school, they can go to a religious school."

And if enough parents "don't like" (i.e., LOATHE) the ACLU's agenda, there won't be taxpayer-funded schools, you self-righteous b*stard...

Why doesn't the ACLU tell that to cranks like Micheal Newdow? Why does our public school system have to cater to deviants and atheists, when the vast majority of parents despise their "values?"

Two-fer: Homosexual Agenda and Moral Absolutes Ping.

Kind of an overview about the evil ACLU and its goals, especially regarding parents control of and responsibility for their own children.

The book mentioned at the end sounds good, too.

I know that WND has got an ill reputation, and that Farah seems to have gone off the deep end, but this article is fine.

Freepmail me AND DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off the H.A. ping list, and just ME if you want on/off the M.A. pinglist.

"When the state forces parents to be involved, the consequences are often catastrophic."

Given that the topic here is the welfare of children, this mindset if freaking scary.

If I remember correctly the communist manifesto wishes all children to be raised by the state. So of course the ACLU is against parents raising their own children.

In fact, raising your child these days to develop into a healthy, happy, responsible adult has never been harder.

Oh, pishtosh! In the bad old days, you were lucky if they lived to two years old.

Corruption and perversion? Try ancient Rome or Greece. Sure, there have been better moral environments for rearing children than we face today, but there have been plenty worse, too - and there has rarely been a better environment for simple physical health than modern America.

It sounds like this line was lifted right out of a George Orwell novel.
