ACLU: Another Seal Under Attack
They’re at it again.
StopTheACLU reports:
Two residents of a New Mexico town are suing to remove three crosses from the official town seal. The suit says “the crosses serve no governmental purpose other than to disenfranchise and discredit non-Christian citizens†and accuses the city of violating the plaintiff’s constitutional right to religious freedom, invading their privacy, and violating the civil rights act of 1964.
The mayor says he plans to fight the lawsuit since, he says, the crosses have a historical reason for being in the logo. After all, the town in question is Las Cruces, which is Spanish for “The Crosses.”
Maybe the town will have to change its name, too. Nothing suprises.
This small town is standing up to the ACLU, and that should be commended. With a population of 474 this is no small feat. Its these small communities the ACLU love to prey on. These kind of lawsuits are the ACLU’s specialty, and its sad for an organization that claims it is protecting our civil liberties, to be one that practices daily at stripping them away.
Hence, we must remain vigilant to thwart their efforts.
