True. However this is not, as a previous poster, because they are
trying to suppress all views other than their own. I have heard that
the ACLU has taken flak in the past for defending the rights of racists,
even though I suspect that most ACLU'ers are violently opposed to racism.

In the case of creationism in schools, I'm sure the ACLU fights it
because it sees it, rightly IMHO, as an attempt to teach religion in the
public schools.

In this case, I would have to agree.
