ACLU Sues to Support Pro-Castro Propaganda for Tots

As if to enlighten anyone who hasn't yet grasped its political orientation, the ACLU is now suing Miami's public school system to force it to carry a book called "A Visit to Cuba" ("Vamos a Cuba") in its libraries. The book, which targets children aged 5–7, paints a rosy picture of life in this communist hellhole — so rosy that one of Castro's former political prisoners complained.

Chided Howard Simon of the ACLU of Florida:

We can appreciate that the book might be found to be offensive by some parents, but censorship is a cure that is worse than the disease.

ACLU termites really will stand up for free speech — so long as it's the kind of speech they like to hear. Too bad their anything-goes attitude doesn't extend to so much as mentioning Jesus Christ.
