FYI: An Interesting "See You at the Pole" Case

[Ed Brayton]

Except that the ACLU has been very consistent in defending the free
speech and free exercise rights of students, including events like See
You At The Pole, the right to organize student bible clubs, the rights
of students to hand out religious literature to their classmates, wear
religious clothing, and choose religious songs or subjects for reports,
and so forth. In many of the famous cases where it is claimed that
schools are being hostile to religion, like the Lamb's Chapel case or
the case in Massachusetts where the kids were suspended for handing out
candy canes with a religious message attached, the ACLU was on the right
side.

I wish that the media and the right wing pundits would accurately state
the law about religion at schools -- then maybe fewer people would
misunderstand it. 

Please.
 
The right wing did not intimidate school districts through litigation
and threats thereof until suppression became the obvious safe choice.
The correct spelling for those groups is PFAW, ACLU, etc.
