ACLU sues for students to wear anti-Islam shirts in Florida schools - USATODAY.com

Damn that Conservative organization!

OWAI-

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (USATODAY.com) — The American Civil Liberties Union has sued a north Florida school district, claiming that the Alachua County School District violated students' rights by not allowing them to wear T-shirts with an anti-Islamic message.

The civil rights organization says that while it doesn't agree with the "Islam is of the Devil" message printed on T-shirts distributed by the Dove World Outreach Center, it does support the students' constitutional right to freedom of speech.

A school dress code prohibits clothing that school officials conclude would "disrupt the learning process" or cause other students to be "offended or distracted." The students were sent home for violation of the code after declining to change out of the shirts.

I thought we were discussing the ACLU and clashes between freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

So I am looking for an example that relates to that topic.

We're discussing the ACLU in the thread, yes.

There is a clash between Freedom of Speech and Religion in general throughout history and currently today. My question is, what sort of example are you looking for? A previous example where the ACLU was involved? Because that was not related to that specific comment.

I fully expect the ACLU to take this position. To maintain any credibility they have to, don't they?

But it's a no-win anyway, so sayeth ample precedent.

The ACLU used to only be anti-Christian, just like most liberals. Then Muslims started beheading infidels and they realized they had to do something or lose what little credibility they still had. So they came up with the idea that all religions are bad, not just Christianity. Ten years ago, this would not have happened.
