Jun 17, 2004Why I Won't Join the ACLU
Meanwhile, the ACLU is largely MIA as college administrators on a daily basis trample on freedom of conscience through speech codes, mandatory diversity training, and suppression of publications that offer dissenting points of view. With some notable exceptions, the priorities of this once-proud organization are badly skewed.

Good point, David. The ACLU is worse than AWOL on the preventive detention of law-abiding people branded "mentally ill and dangerous to themselves or others." It enthusiastically supports such an atrocity as the "right to treatment." Sadly, the Bill of Rights is not for them. And let's not forget that the ACLU is unaware that something comes between the First and Third Amendments.
