Their goal is pure and simple: to teach religion in public
schools. Read the court decsion about the Dover, PA case.

And how does that balance out what the ACLU has been doing for 40 years?

News Flash: Relgion is not to be taught in public schools. Never
was, never will be.

Does it matter if the courts, the constitution, the aclu, or
the school board, says it? Which one convinces you?

I agree that public schools should not "teach" religion but I also
think that the ban on even mentioning Christmas or the ban on school
kids from mentioning God has gone too far.
I don't know, I've read the constitution and I can't find a lot of the
stuff that the ACLU says is in there. School boards are running scared
of ACLU threats so they aren't a good source of what's right either.
I suppose the Dover case you're mentioning has to do with intelligent
design. The way I heard it, there was no "teaching" of it. A
4-paragraph statement was to be read at the start of the year's science
class stating that there was another theory of origins and if anyone
was interested they could check out a certain book.
Now the good judge apparently called this "teaching of religion" but I
personally think he was out to lunch. Atheism is also a religion of
sorts but schools don't mind teaching that.
