ACLU Loves Religious Groups. Um, What!?
Posted by admin under: Uncategorized .
Over at www.stoptheaclu.com there is a report that the ACLU is challenging a San Diego ordinance that requires religious and political groups to rent city space, in this instance a meeting room.
It was sparked by the Escondido Mobile/Manufactured Homeowners Positive Action Committee, which had been using community rooms for free until it started a petition drive to impose term limits on members of the City Council.
The ACLU argued that fees cannot be based on what the groups renting city rooms are saying or doing, but rather on conditions such as cleanup costs.
The ACLU sued the city of San Diego for letting the Boy Scouts rent space because they say the Boy Scouts are a religious organization. Hm. That’s all. Hm.

Are you completely unfamiliar with the San Diego lawsuit?
The ACLU didn’t sue San Diego for “letting the Boy Scouts rent space,” they sued because the city leases them public land for $1/year and didn’t follow their own requirements for leasing public land below market rates.
