Re: ACLU Threatens High School over graduation at Christian-owned Auditorium - ACLU is looking ridiculous over this one

Funny we had this dunce professor who took down all the crosses in his
class roomS, at Boston College. Fired on the spot, he enlisted the
ACLU over religious discrimination and seperatation of church and
state.

Small problem. BC is a private, and JESUIT school.

Yo asshole, maybe ya missed the fact that your boss is a priest?

LAUGHED out of court, with an admonsihment from the court to the ACLU:

Don't look like a butt screaming asshole again in my court, ya fucking
gang of blithering dooshbags.
