Reply to comment by Jasontheperson in ACLU says it could take legal action over Saucon Valley School District rescinding approval for After School Satan Club by Modestkilla
Ok, let me pose this question to you. If say I was a student at this school and wanted to start the let’s say “Christ Club” and I was turned down (as I should be) Do you think the ACLU would come to my defense and say it is a free speech issue? If the answer is yes then I will agree with you.

The article referenced was 9 years old. Unfortunately things are quite different now.

The ACLU has defended Nazis in the past as well but now they pick and chose their cases. which seem to only be cases on the left.

The whole point is that the school in this situation does have a Christ club. If they cancelled all religious clubs, it would be equal treatment, but they didn’t.

Yes.
The ACLU has defended far more odious causes including Illinois Nazis
