The good news is that there are organizations out there fighting them, and people standing up to protest against them. Currently they are attacking Lakeview Elementary School for promotion of a Prayer at the Flagpole event, a National Day of Prayer event, the activities of a “Praying Parents” group, teacher-led voluntary classroom prayers, and a Christian theme and overtly religious songs at a Christmas program. The school is not denying these charges but asserting that Muslim, Jewish, and Hindu students have “a constitutional right to pray or to read their scriptures at school as well. They did not cave in to the ACLU’s threats but gathered a group of over 600 people to protest the ACLU in a prayer vigil. The prayer rally, organized by two Mt. Juliet commissioners, drew hundreds, with about 200 stuck in a 1.5-mile traffic jam. The event, which also attracted some local politicians and pastors, took place outside the school recently named in a lawsuit for alleged constitutional violations.

But there's nothing to stop the people of that community from acting in civil disobedience and praying anyway. Yes, that's a major commitment, but if it's something they feel that strongly about regarding their children, then it should be worth it. The First Amendment GUARANTEES that no law can prohibit the free exercise of religion nor prohibit the people from assembling peaceably. NOWHERE in the Constitution does it state there is to be "a separation of church and state", which is their rally cry as to why such an action should be Constitutionally illegal. So their argument is without merit on its face, which may not mean anything to the courts, but it does to the American people. While groups like the Alliance Defense Fund and the ACLJ help greatly by battling it out in the courts, I think the only thing that will ultimately stop the ACLU and their allies from criminalizing Christianity is the people of this country. The American desire for freedom was and is the foundation of this country and the foundation of the Constitution. The ACLU may believe they are slowly converting this country to a socialist state, but if the desire for freedom is still strong within the American people, it won't happen.

You want to know how they will respond? They will say they support these people's right to protest and express their religion. They will say they just wish these people understood that they are trying to protect religion by attacking it. While it is beautiful to see people standing up against the ACLU it will not deter them.
