ACLU's 'Search and Destroy' Agenda

Meese believes in the rule of law and the Constitution and has expressed concerns over some of the Supreme Courts recent rulings, particularly on eminent domain. "[I]t was just over a year ago," says Meese, "that the Supreme Court undermined one of civilization's most basic rights, the right to keep property, by ruling that the government may take your property from you and give it to someone else for their private use." 
 
As I type these words the freedom of Christian people to express their faith is under attack by Americans United for Separation of Church and State.  They want any mention of religion purged from the public square.   They're determined to rid America of any evidence of religious faith.  It's disturbing that the ACLU opposes public displays of the Moral Lawgiver (God) but supports partial-birth abortion.  The Judeo/Christian religion has no place in the public square, yet the religion of Secular Humanism does?   Scientist David Menton asks these intriguing questions,
 
"Why is it then that so many public schools in our country manage to get away with teaching the religions of Scientism and Secular Humanism even in the face of widespread efforts to erect a 'wall of separation' between church and state? Where is the indignation and litigation of the American Civil Liberties Union who seem to fancy themselves as the 'watch dog' against the inroads of religion in our public schools? Has the ACLU decided that there are acceptable and unacceptable religions for our public schools? Can, indeed, any teacher discuss the origin of the universe, and particularly the origin of man and his 'values', with out teaching or discussing religion? It seems unlikely that there can be such a thing as 'value free' or 'religion free' education on many of those subjects that most intrigue man. We are led to conclude that all schools are to at least some degree 'religious schools', it is only a question of which religion is being taught." [5]
