ACLU Sues to Keep Communist Propaganda in School

(Miami, Florida) I'm certain that the ACLU would disagree with the title of this post but, when one analyzes the the entire situation, the conclusion has to be that the ACLU is adamant about inculcating 1st- and 2nd-graders to the beauty of communism. The controversy surrounds a book heralding the joy of communist life by showing smiling faces of children at a Cuban youth camp.

From Miami.com:

The American Civil Liberties Union on Wednesday asked a federal judge to stop the Miami-Dade County school district from removing a series of children's books from its libraries, including one on Cuba, arguing the removal violates students' rights to free press.

The Miami-Dade County Student Government Association joined the ACLU in the suit filed in U.S. District Court in downtown Miami. They argue the books are appropriate for their target group, children ages 5 to 7, and that the board should add materials with alternate viewpoints rather than remove books that could be offensive.

"Alternate viewpoints!" What on the Earth is the matter with the ACLU? The kids are ages 5 through 7. The only 'alternate viewpoint' they should be concerned with is punishment for not doing what they are told. And, there's more to this lunacy.

Last week, the board voted 6-3 to remove "Vamos a Cuba" and its English-language version, "A Visit to Cuba" from 33 schools, stating the books were inappropriate for young readers because of inaccuracies and omissions about life in the communist nation.

The suit alleged the books were removed without due process, violating students' Fourteenth Amendment rights.

It's not clear how the Fourteenth Amendment is tied into the issue but it appears that due process was followed. After all, the school board made the decision which is presumably within its authority.

What's most troubling is the ACLU's continuous support for anti-American initiatives, particularly socialist and communist. Anyone with a modicum of education should know that communism is the antithesis to freedom. To subject young children to communist propaganda is ludicrous. The 20th Century demonstrated that communism guarantees genocide, police state imprisonment, and evenly distributed poverty. Putting perfume on the ideology and shoving it into young impressionable minds won't change its evil nature.
