A federal judge has rejected claims that the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota defamed a charter school that the ACLU has accused of promoting Islam.

This is good news.
The ‘school” is the problem.

Their religion allows lying, rape and the extortion. It is a disgrace to humanity.
Even the ACLU can be right once in a while. Amazing.
