This is actually a disastrous strategy for the ACLU, and a golden opportunity to drive the wooden stake through the heart of the ACLU vampire: create martyrs.
How many tachers and administrators who "stand their ground" can they arrest? How many students can they be allowed to inconvenience and injure?
On another facet of the potential development of this stupid strategy, what if, say, one million normal Americans pledge $1 a month put into a fund to support arrested teachers, administrators and their families while they are in jail? For as long as it takes?
I'm guessing that would take care of at least 150 prisoners of conscience and their families.
Double that contributon and it's still a pittance for the average American.
How long would the ACLU be able to afford that?
I would further suggest that any accused and arrested insist of individual trials!
I further expect that a significant number of businesses and wealthy patrons would step forward to provide additional funds.
It's a war they want?
So the ACLU wants its opponents to abandon all hope? Isn't there a gate that says as much according to Dante?
