The ACLU likely has no stake in the matter, but Americans United may. However, they have been unable to convince any parents to bring lawsuit against the local schools and the David Lynch Foundation over the TM Quiet Time issue so far, and it may be that neither John nor any of his fellow anti-quiet-time friends have standing in teh courts either. There's been several interviews with the Americans United folk over this, BTW. I think you can find reference to it on their website. L.
