Enfield (WTNH) - The ACLU of Connecticut is warning the Enfield school board to stop holding graduation ceremonies at a Bloomfield megachurch, claiming the graduates and their families are unconstitutionally being subjected to religious messages.

Great job-thanks for the info!
When will the people of this country say enough is enough on this type of crap.
Where was the ACLU when Nidal Hasan subjected numerous U.S. Army personnel to religious messages? (Long before he decided to shoot the troops, that is.)
A virgin no more! How's it feel?
Lol
But seriesly. You did good. I noticed it was an AP article, so it had to be excerpted. Which you did.
I woulda added a little more. I always try to max out the excerpt.
I have yet to attend a non-Military graduation, where attendance was manditory.
Can the ACLU be sued? Or does it take an act of congress to deal with the organization? They have become very oppressive to christians.
Can someone please point out where in the Constitution there is a right to be free from “religous messages”? I’m pretty sure the Fed is not involved here and my understanding the Constitution limits the Feds power it does not enumerate our rights (or non-rights if you are the ACLU).
This should get taken all the way to the SCOTUS so this crap can end forever.

Didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would.
I wasn’t sure if I should put copyright AP? Thanks for the tip!
It seems to me that if an atheist attends a graduation ceremony in a church and is thereby enticed into the eeeeevil clutches of Jesus, his atheism was pretty weak to begin with.
What does “Congress shall make no law” have to do with this, with school prayer, with high school football games, etc.?
These people are insane, but people keep giving into them because they have deep pockets. They have the same mind set as a old maid who makes you take off your shoes and put on slippers when you walk through the door.
“The Constitution prevents the Gov’t from creating a state sponsored church...”
And what does that look like when it is happening?
Would you object of the graduation was held in a a Mosque?
The ACLU is GOOD - it's CT that's bad!.

Great post.
I want an end to the ACLU.
The word limit is 300. If you exceed the limit, your submission will be rejected until you trim it to the appropriate length. I usually past a fair chunk and then reduce it as need be.
No I wouldn’t also the Mosque would likely object to me. I don’t see where it’s relevant to the Constitution or Federal Government. That would be between the students and the school.
if the ACLU did this against another religion, they would be considered a hate group.
