Answer 1

Yup, I agree f, I mean thank you ACLU! bunch of jack***'s!

Answer 2

Well, first, the ACLU was not involved in this decision. They were not a party to the suit, nor did they represent any party.

Also, it's tricky when there are clearly both secular historical meanings and religious meanings attached to the same symbol. The menorah is lit in celebration of a secular military victory against an invading army, as thus is at least as much a secular war memorial as the Mount Soledad Cross in San Diego that's been the subject of litigation for almost two decades.

That being said, I disagree with the 2nd Circuits analysis. I think that if a policy includes symbols that could reasonably have a religious connotation, then the school cannot exclude one particular religion just because it's more well known.

To serve its goals, policies to promote diversity and respect for different cultures and beliefs must be uniform, and cannot exclude any widely held belief system or religion. Thus, I think it's wrong to exclude symbols associated with Christianity if other symbols assciated with other religions are allowed. Just as it's wrong to have only Christian symbols, and exclude other religions. Diversty and respect must be uniform.

BTW, the ACLU has taken several cases on the side of Christians who were excluded in a manner similar to this. The ACLU doesn't only support minority religions. It fights for the benefit of anyone whose 1st Amendment rights are being trampled by government policies.

But the ACLU wasn't involved in this decision, because another civil rights group (Thomas More Law Center) had already taken the case. But if they had been involved, they would have been on the side of the Christian plaintiffs, as they have in the past.

Answer 3

Its humorous what share cases the ACLU stands up for the safety of Christian and Jewish religious freedoms, and yet specific communities tend to concentration on the gang while they conflict for the freedoms of atheists or non believers. Sorry that the ACLU isn't suitable wing sufficient to espouse a specialist-Christian schedule 24/7. They upward push up for everyones rights at distinctive factors. wonderful theory on the recent time.

Answer 4

Oh, boo-hoo. What's your question? The ACLU isn't against Chritianity. They are now fighting FOR a religious organization. I saw it on CNN. I can't remember the details right now, but they're fighting FOR religion and not against it. Go to CNN and read it for yourself.

Answer 5

As an Atheist, I have a problem with certain religious symbols, but I acknowledge that our entire culture and civilization owes its existence and continuance to certain religious beliefs.

Mostly Christian beliefs.

It is shame to see reverse discrimination against one of the founding principles of modern civilization.

But it was Christ who said "turn the other cheek"....

Let's try to keep this civil.
