ACLU backs student in flap over religion in class

[Doryman]

What has happened to Freedom of Speech? We criticize countries that crushes free speech but what about our own anti (speech) laws. I agree with anti-racism laws and laws against racist terminology they are necessary. However some people today seem to be just looking for a reason to make trouble for others, as if they want to get some attention, or maybe it is because they feel they have on control of their lives and need to prove to themselves that they can control something. Also it may be self validation that they need and the only way they can get it is by proving they can in some way control what others do and say. What is wrong with voicing your beliefs, even in public, if there is nothing hateful in your works. As far as I can tell this professor did not condem anyones beliefs in particular, he just voiced his opinion.

If that is the case, we would sure all be in deep s***t for what we say here on CC. Imagine how boring and dull it would be and we would learn nothing. Free exchange of ideas and beliefs is how we get to know each other and is so import for personal development and widening of our knowledge.

You're all for freedom of speech unless it's racist? Garbage, Freedom of speech means there is NO limit on someones right to express their thought and opinions, no matter how disgusting you find it.

well here is my 4 cents worth

There are too many unanswered questions here. Did the teacher express these oppinions prior for the student to feel he had to tape for people to believe? (Thats what I'm leaning towards). Or was it random? Not sure why a student would do that but ya never know. Is this a first complaint? If this is the first WOW. Anyway thats my rant of the day..its a public school for goodness sake...teach the religion don't preach it...(ick that spelling doesn't look right but its late and i'm tired) tootles

ACLU? pff... typical. ACLU is anti-religion, any objective, person, with open eyes can see that.

They are, literally the worst group I have ever seen...ACLU hurts, more then it helps.

What do you say about an org. that represents the National Assembely of the Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), when someone read their literature and raped and killed a young boy, and the literature described how to lure children.

The ACLU has done countless despicable things, and has tarnished their rep. and any rashional person doesn't take them seriously..

ACLU will munipulate, and spin anything in the name of "free speach"... they are anti-religion, they hurt victims, and they are a spin-group that has alterior motives of a secular progressive America.

I have never hated a "pro-people" group so much.
