An email forwarded to me recently suggested that I (and I guess my family and friends) should cripple the ACLU by sending them massive amounts of Christmas Cards.
Get it?
It's because the ACLU hates Christmas, or as the end of the email claims, perhaps it's because: "the ACLU, (the American Civil Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or anything Christian away from us. They represent the atheists and others in this war. Help put Christ back in Christmas!"
The truth is things are more complicated. While the ACLU works to maintain a separation of Church and State, the ACLU also protects the rights of Christians to worship. Thanks to the ACLU, this Christian can now preach in prison.
Why do I teach writing? Is it possible to even the score against this flood of simplistic , us-vs-them thinking in our populace these days?
