The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota said it will file suit today against a publicly funded charter school, alleging that it is promoting the Muslim religion and that it is leasing school space from a religious organization, the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, without following state law.


I support their decision to sue here just as I would support them in a case where a publicly funded charter school was catering specifically to Christians.

Then again, "you might be a Minnesotan if you're a card carrying member of both the NRA and the ACLU"

It will be interesting, however, to see the reaction of the Muslim community in Minnesota.  We have a large number of Muslim immigrants from Somalia and the middle east.  The question is:  Can a publicly funded school cater to the Islam (or any religion for that matter) without actively promoting or encouraging it?

Muslims are supposed to pray several times a day.  Is it a violation of the constitution if a public school includes break times for this purpose?

The ACLU 'isn't always bad'?

The ACLU being bad in any shape or form is a right wing talking point. The ACLU is a terrific, freedom-fighting organization.

I know that.. and part of their evidence is that they 'unfairly single out Christians' while leaving Muslims and other minorities alone.

which is a right-wing fantasy. There are numerous instances where the ACLU has defended the rights of Christians to practice and spread their faith: http://www.aclufightsforchristians.com/

2000 years of playing the victim card. I mean, the Christians were the true victims in the Crusades and the Holocaust.

I wouldn't dislike the ACLU so much if they would just read the 2nd Amendment properly.
