American Civil Liberties Union
The American Civil Liberties Union has threatened to sue the state of Louisiana because a state website promoting abstinence mentions God.
In a six-page letter, the ACLU claims the state abstinence program has violated a 2002 court settlement by invoking the name of God and quoting biblical passages on the program's taxpayer-funded website, reported the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
The legal group says it will take the Governor's Program on Abstinence back to federal court in 30 days if religious references are not removed from the site. Even so, the site, AbstinenceEdu.com, continues to mention God, with one personal testimony from a girl who said she thanked God after she chose not to have sex.
''We've been monitoring the website for a while,'' Joe Cook, the executive director of the Louisiana ACLU, told the New Orleans paper. ''We thoroughly researched it, and we made the determination that the GPA had not only failed to correct the errors of its ways, as pointed out two years ago in the settlement, but in fact had gone out of its way to use taxpayer money to layer religious content upon religious content.''
A spokesperson for Gov. Kathleen Blanco's office, Roderick Hawkins, said the website was being reviewed.
''Our concern is that the site comply with the agreement and the settlement of 2002,'' Hawkins told the paper. ''That's what we're doing right now ?– making sure the site complies.''
On the site's message board, one teenager poster mentioned God in her testimony:
''Virginity is something very special which we have been given by God and we can only have it once. When you give it to someone It'll be gone and you can never get it back no matter how rich you are. I'm so thankful to God for being with me and giving me the wise choice ?– to abstain. I'm 15 and so proud to be a virgin and I won't be sorry for that. I think one day my future husband'll be very happy for the decision which I made and he'll respect, trust me and feel secure with me.''
AbstinenceEdu.com and the governor's program is financed with federal money.

ACLU Wins Another For
ACLU Wins Another For ...
Yep. They made the Pentagon stop any sponsorship of the Boy Scouts.
The Pentagon has agreed to warn military bases worldwide not to directly sponsor Boy Scout troops, partially resolving claims that the government has engaged in religious discrimination by supporting a group that requires members to believe in God.
This move by the infamous NAMBLA backers will neither increase our foxholes' atheist count by one, nor subtract any from the count of the G-d and artillery fearing, so I'm not sure they had a point other than to be a pain in the ass.
The settlement does not resolve other ACLU claims involving government spending that benefits the Boy Scouts, such as money used to prepare a Virginia military base for the Boy Scout Jamboree and grants used by state and local governments to benefit the Boy Scouts, Schwartz said.
He said the Pentagon spends $2 million every year to prepare the Virginia base for the jamboree, held once every four years. He said the Defense Department also makes annual allocations of $100,000 to support Boy Scout units on military bases overseas and $100,000 to improve Boy Scout properties, such as summer camps.
The summer camps and the jamboree have to hunt up a couple million in new funding while the ACLU decides whether to next take on Bush's '''Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act of 2004'' for discriminating against a slow godless geek in the Portland Consolidated Beavers' chess club or whether to go after the Girl Scouts for discriminating against sex-obsessed male pedophiles with multiple rape convictions.

Strident Legal Attacks By ACLU
The House on Saturday commended the Boy Scouts and condemned legal efforts to limit government ties to the group because of its requirement that members believe in God.
A nonbinding resolution, passed by a 391-3 vote, recognized the 3.2 million-member Boy Scouts for its public service efforts. But the main thrust of the debate was what the House Judiciary Committee chairman, Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., said were the ''strident legal attacks'' on the group.
The Pentagon agreed last week to tell U.S. military bases around the world not to directly sponsor Boy Scout troops. The warning resulted from legal challenges to government relations with a group that bans openly gay leaders and compels members to swear an oath of duty to God. The American Civil Liberties Union and others say that direct government sponsorship of such a program amounts to discrimination. The Pentagon's ruling does not prevent service members from leading Boy Scout troops on their own time. Also, Boy Scouts still can meet on areas of military bases where civilian organizations are allowed to hold events.
Rep. J.D. Hayworth (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz. said the ACLU's challenge was a ''nuisance lawsuit'' and he was urging Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to reconsider the Pentagon's position.
''Scouting values, military values, citizenship values, a respect and reverence for a creator are not a violation of the doctrine of church and state,'' said Hayworth, who was an Eagle Scout.
The measure's sponsor, Rep. Darrell Issa (news, bio, voting record), R-Calif., said Congress would work ''to defend the Boy Scout's ability to continue the fine work that they have done for nearly a century.''
Voting against the resolution were Democratic Reps. John Dingell of Michigan, Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Lynn Woolsey of California---ALL LIBERAL DEMOCRATS,
ONE OPENLY GAY!!
