For Those Few Who have Not Caught On To The Commie Agenda of the ACLU

School boards routinely make adjustments to the book lists provided in the limited space of the school libraries. A school library is not the Library of Congress. Can you imagine the expense and chaos if every school board was sued by every interest group for failing to stock, or for removing a book promoting that group's agenda?
Well, the ACLU has found a book worth suing over. They are taking a Florida school board to court for removing a Cuban propaganda book that paints a big smiley face on Castro's little island gulag.
They claim that failing to provide these pro-Communist lies to American students, ages 5 to 7, is censorship.
Once this filth is smuggled into our schools, every tool in the commie arsenal will be wielded to keep it there, especially that old favorite of the well-funded Left - court-facilitated bankruptcy.
Note the absurd arguments the ACLU advances for their attack on this school. They claim that the school is defying U.S. law prohibiting censorship! By this argument, the school would have to stock every book ever written! Limited space demands discrimination!
My favorite though is the claim that removing this book violates students' right to a free press! A free press is the right to publish! Not the right to have certain books available in a certain place and time! There is no "right to read Communist propaganda!"
Then, finally, they say that the book was removed without due process! Due process is afforded to PEOPLE! What, they didn't read the book its rights?
The reason these arguments are so lame is that there is no case here. The whole point, as it so often is with the ACLU, is to intimidate the enemy with threats of expense and legal jeopardy.
Now, why, with thousands of decisions made every day regarding the stocking of libraries, would the ACLU go into battle over this particular book? It is because they must indoctrinate American children, at the earliest possible age, to look kindly on the great scourge of the 20th century; the ideology that slaughtered 100 million of its own citizens while destroying the life chances of billions - Communism.
The founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin said, "I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal."
The ACLU was founded on the principal of imposing a soulless evil over this country. And it remains so today.
