The “Two Faces” Of The ACLU
Posted on January 3, 2006
Have you ever noticed how the ACLU seems to constantly display double standards by who they represent and why they represent them? A prime example is the “Florida Pledge lawsuit” where 17-year-old Cameron Frazier has sued the Palm Beach County School Board, alleging his teacher punished him when he refused to stand for the Pledge.
The ACLU quickly springs into action to defend some punk kid who didn’t want to stand for the pledge, yet they would absolutely refuse to defend another American student who was punished for refusing to stand for the Mexican National Anthem. This just shows the sheer stupidity of the ACLU and backs up my claim that they are indeed a terrorist group.
“I believe that the real meaning of the flag — freedom, liberty and equality — has been tarnished by the recent policies of our government,” Cameron Frazier said in his statement, without elaborating further.
Looks like that kid may be in line to be an ACLU attorney when he grows up!
“This lawsuit is not about the Pledge of Allegiance,” said Howard Simon, executive director of the ACLU of Florida. “It is about his right to choose not to stand to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.”
In other words Mr. Simon, he has a right not to stand during a pledge of allegiance to the United States of America, his own country, but the kid in Illinois doesn’t have a right to refuse to stand during the Mexican National Anthem, the anthem of a country he’s not a citizen of? I’m just curious as to whether the reason the ACLU refused to defend the student in Illinois has anything to do with the fact that a Republican, Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) requested that they defend the student.
Even more of a reason we have to Stop The ACLU!

Any originization that claims to protect the civil liberties of a citizen of the US but will not defend someone who refused to stand for a foreign national anthem is AGANIST the US. They would rather see the current from of goverment abolished.
When is anyone going to start serial lawsuits against the ACLU, tie them up in court, eat up their funding, and keep them busy like they have done to everyone else.
The atheists are always saying that if you want references to God, go to a private Christian school. Why not make these ACLU and atheists’ types send their children to Private Atheist Schools?
I don’t know about Cameron Frazier, but some of us just aren’t interested in idolotry and nation-worship.
That isn’t the point Michael. If you don’t care for the U.S.A, then that is your business…you won’t be making any friends here. The point is that the ACLU should be consistent and protect the other kid that refused to stand for the Mexican National Anthem. Politics cause the ACLU to stray from their stated non-partisan goal. Of course we all know that goal is B.S.
The point was to show their hypocrisy. Hate America all you like, just watch yourself, because you are outnumbered.
Which kid in Illinois? I looked on the trackback for a source, but didn’t find anything. Is it a real story or a hypothetical?
BTW, the ACLU even defends the KKK’s right to march, remember? THEY ARE DEFENDING YOUR RIGHTS AS AMERICANS TO THINK AS YOU CHOOSE. DON’T BE SO STUPID.
Alrighty kids, let’s have a little lesson here shall we, ya snivelin’ little a**wipers.
Four seconds of googling
I will be calling the IL. ACLU tomorrow about this very thing.
“…some punk kid who didn’t want to stand for the pledge”
Whether you like it or not, that “punk kid” has as much right not to stand for the pledge as you have to litter cyberspace with your ill-informed babbling. Not that you’re into fact-checking, apparently, but numerous court rulings in the past half-century support this.
Do you understand that he’s suing because he was unfairly punished? Don’t you think that’s pretty American, or would you prefer a totalitarian regime in which a failure to worship of the state as defined by the state was grounds for incarceration?
Don’t yammer about how much you love America when you don’t have the faintest clue about what it means to exercise freedom. Besides, one of America’s greatest sources of pride is the access to education of its citizens. Should you be deported and stripped of your citizenship because you choose to be ignorant?
The boy in IL. Did the right thing no American should never stand for the Anthem of a foreign nation played in this country. The fool in FL is a different subject he did not have to say the pledge but he needed to get his ungrateful butt out of that chair and stand! And if his ignorant butt did not want to then he should had his parents write a note to the school as was required. There is a reason kids need Parental consent for things they are children. It comes down to the simple fact of respect of the rules and the teacher. Don’t like the rules fine ask your parents to have you excused from them. Sadly
to many parents allow their kids to do as they please they don’t teach them to have respect for them as parents how in the world are they going to have respect for anyone else including themselves.
They are also defending a kid in Rhode Island who refuses to stand up because, he doesn’t believe in God and he doesn’t agree with Bush. As an American you have a right to not believe in God, and hate Bush, but please, who gave you the right to disrespect your flag and your country? I swear, everyday we hate the ACLU even more.
Will, I did link to the source if you’d take the time to check thoroughly before you comment, you might not embarass yourself so much.
If the rest of you really believe the ACLU is here to protect you, that’s your prerogative. However, the rest of us know the truth.
Furthermore, if you can’t have a civilized debate/discussion then I suggest you don’t comment at all because incase you’ve forgotten, the writers on this site are entitled to our opinions as you are.
Name calling is merely childish and just goes to prove our points about liberals and the ACLU.
I do appreciate your comments either way because when I read one from someone who just wants to call me names, it gives me a good laugh.
Thanks,
Jay Adkins
BTW, there are two Jays here, so make sure you’re calling the correct one names, will ya?
I’d like to chime in and point out that while this kid or any kid attend public school, funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars, that he should have to do what he’s told. He was not forced to say the pledge, only told he must stand and TOLERATE (as libs put it) the rest of the class in doing so. As Jay also pointed out repeatedly to people who seem to divert it, the problem isn’t this “punk kid” getting help from the ACLU, its the fact that no one else is. There are schools that have banned the pledge, yet no ACLU lawyer has showed up yet to defend the rights of those who want to say the pledge.
Christy: I guess you need to do some research and learn for yourself what excercising freedom means. It does not mean that kids have a right to sit during the pledge while others have no right to say it at all. It does not mean hippies have the right to burn a flag, when little girls in NY can’t even where red white and blue necklaces to support their troops in school. I can go on and on…
