ACLU Critters Sue North Carolina School Over Recruiters

Gotta love them
NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against a rural North Carolina school system that barred a peace activist from talking to high school students about alternatives to joining the military.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, says the Wilkes County school district and its superintendent violated the First Amendment by preventing Sally Ferrell from distributing pamphlets and other materials that warn students to think twice before joining the military.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Ferrell and Bill Towe, director of N.C. Peace Action.
“We’ve tried to find another alternative to bringing this lawsuit,” Katherine Parker, legal director of the ACLU’s North Carolina chapter, said Tuesday. “They just will not compromise.”
The legal group is asking a judge to issue an injunction to allow Ferrell, a member of N.C. Peace Action, to distribute the materials and give her the same access to students as military recruiters who are allowed in the schools.
Not to split hairs, but, the schools are required by law to give recruiters access, since they receive federal money. They are not required to give a group access solely so said group can slam the military. Perhaps if N.C. Peace Action was interested in trying to recruit for their group, I might agree with them. But, certainly not if they simply want to tee off on the very groups and people who have, since the late 1700’s, given them the right to protest.
I wonder if we are going to start to see a pattern here. Just the other day, I posted virtually the same story, but it was from Bridgewater Mass. And N.C. Peace Action, part of the overall parent organization, is extremely far left, and thinks Iran is just a supa! country, and America is the aggressor.

I have to give the left credit for these kind of organized national attacks. They’re very good at it; we could take a page from their Alinsky, Cloward-Piven tactics as far as getting things done goes. And some schools will bend, maybe because the principal and/or school district lean left and like what they’re doing, or maybe because they’re intimidated or can’t afford to defend themselves.
If our leaders would get us into only necessary, jjustified and LEGAL wars that are required for the safety of our country instead of fighting wars for corporate profits, then they wouldn’t have to worry about recruiting. They would be turning recruits DOWN because so many people would want to join.
the ACLU was founded by a communists why else to they file those stupid lawsuits agaiunst public displays of crosses and nativities THE ACLU SHOULD LOSE ITS TAX EXEMPT STATUS AND BE INVESTIGATED
