If the ACLU has thier way, those will not be allowed either.

Do you have a reference to the ACLU opposing teaching Christianity in a comparative religions course?

Fair question, and I came up with a snip of a legal brief of the current position the nobel little outfit holds:

doctrines and are, therefore, unconstitutional. Of course, nothing prevents a school from teaching about various creation-of-the- world beliefs in a comparative religion course, which would be constitutional as long as the instruction imparts information about different religious traditions without promoting any religion.

My obvious direct answer is no, I do not. But I would also point out the ACLU has used an incremental MO to achieve its ends since its inception. Would you completely disagree with that characterization?

My original post said "If the ACLU has their way, (comparative religion) courses will not be allowed either. Would you also say that is completely off the table for these people given their backdoor agenda and increasing boldness?
