RE: FYI: An Interesting "See You at the Pole" Case

Title: Message

Except that the ACLU has been very consistent in defending the free speech and free exercise rights of students, including events like See You At The Pole, the right to organize student bible clubs, the rights of students to hand out religious literature to their classmates, wear religious clothing, and choose religious songs or subjects for reports, and so forth. In many of the famous cases where it is claimed that schools are being hostile to religion, like the Lamb's Chapel case or the case in Massachusetts where the kids were suspended for handing out candy canes with a religious message attached, the ACLU was on the right side.   Ed Brayton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 1:26 PM To: religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu Subject: Re: FYI: An Interesting "See You at the Pole" Case In a message dated 10/31/2005 1:24:20 P.M.
