The ACLU's Leap to Inaction
The ACLU frequently rubs me the wrong way. This article continues that trend...
At Front Page Magazine, Hillel Stavis criticizing the ACLU, begins:
"For nearly a hundred years the crèche sat in front of the Balch Elementary School in South Norwood, Massachusetts. Then in 2004, Sarah Wunsch, attorney for the Massachusetts branch of the American Civil Liberties Union contended that the display depicting the birth of Jesus in a Bethlehem manger, violated separation of church and state. and its presence on the grounds of a public school sent a message that the schools endorse Christianity. ''Kids being driven to school or being dropped off see it and think it's part of school," she said.
Eventually, the ACLU prevailed, the crèche was removed and relocated nearby to private land."
