Here is a recent article about the ACLU defending students in wearing clothing expressing their thoughts – here is an excerpt:

Following a letter by an attorney from the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri warning Superintendent Jim Bogle that court precedents dating back nearly 40 years require public schools to allow students to express political views by means of their clothing, a number of Crocker students came to school Tuesday wearing either the original “S.A.B.” T-shirts or new T-shirts. The new shirts said “freedom of speech” on the front and “students have rights too” on the back. http://www.waynesvilledailyguide.com/articles/2006/04/19/news/news03.txt

Is the ACLU going to rush to the defense of Tyler Chase Harper in the defense of his freedom of speech?

There are at least three matters of speech the ACLU will not only NOT defend, it will vigorously oppose:

1. Any favorable mention of Christian belief (to include public prayer)

2. Any criticism of darwinian evolution

3. Any criticism of homosexuality or the homosexual lifestyle

In fact, the ACLU stifles speech far more often than it defends it.
