You've gotta laugh at this post from Glib Fortuna about the case in PA where the principal told a kid he couldn't dress up as Jesus for halloween. He rightly condemns the stupidity of the principal, and even admits that...

Our old pal Glib Fortuna is back with yet another idiotic post about the ACLU, in which he manages to misunderstand a court ruling while simultaneously engaging in the single dumbest anti-ACLU argument in existence. The headline screams: ACLU's Favorite...

Well now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time for the fake "War on Christmas" bleating to begin in earnest. Jay at STACLU jumps in with this post about the ACLU filing suit over a school having children reenact the manger...

I've written before about the city of Berkley, Michigan and the controversy over their nativity display. Here's a city who handled it exactly right, I think. The city council voted to turn the display over to a group of local...

I've written before about this stupid argument, which is all too common among the anti-ACLU crowd. They find a case where someone's rights were violated but they're represented by some other group and say, "A ha! Where was the ACLU?...
