[QUOTE="notto, post: 29752681, member: 2918"] Protecting [I]individual [/I]religious freedom of expression. [URL]http://www.c-n.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061212/FRONT01/61212017[/URL] NEWARK (AP) -- The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey today praised a decision by U.S. District Court Judge Freda L. Wolfson protecting the religious expression rights of students. The court held that a Frenchtown Elementary School student had the right to sing the song "AwesomeGod" at a school talent show. The ACLU-NJ submitted a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the student. Wonders if the ACLU detractors would have a problem if the judge used the ACLU submittal in its ruling? This is a great example of the exactly what the ACLU consistently does. They either represent [I]individuals [/I]or advise the court on individual rights. Why are they constantly misrepresented and why don't people understand [I]individual [/I]rights? (just a note - the student was represented by the ADF but it is obvious that the ACLU would have done the same and agreed that this was a clear violation of [I]individual [/I]religious rights) [url]http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-5/116599203584740.xml&coll=1[/url] [/QUOTE]
