Freedom of speech is generally something the ACLU will defend, as long as it's not Christian speech by someone on the public payroll

When I was an 18-year-old columnist for Western Michigan University's Western Herald, I wrote a column featuring a dream sequence in which a public official - I think it was supposed to be Jesse Helms - goes up to a random guy and blurts out "Merry Christmas." Immediately, the ACLU shows up and tells him he can't say that because it's unconstitutional for a government employee to endorse a particular religion. The liberal editors of the paper ran the column, but criticized it pretty harshly for the use of the dream sequence to make the ACLU look so reactionary. They did not, in real life, just go after individuals for saying things like "Merry Christmas" or "God bless you."Welcome to CFP’s Comment Section!
