The ACLU is the American Civil Liberties Union, which was run for its first 30 years by a non-Christian socialist named Roger Baldwin, who helped found it in 1920 in response to the [[Espionage Act]] and [[Sedition Act]]. Baldwin's stated purpose in creating the ACLU was "We are for SOCIALISM, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state itself... We seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the SOLE CONTROL of those who produce wealth. COMMUNISM is the goal." <ref>http://www.leaderu.com/real/ri9402/aclu.html</ref>

In a rare example{{fact}} of an ACLU chapter siding with a Christian student, the ACLU of Michigan (which has no connection with other ACLU organizations) defended a Christian student seeking to have a Biblical passage on the student's yearbook page.<ref>http://www.aclu.org/studentsrights/expression/12845prs20040511.html</ref> Most people believe that these extremely rare occurences are simply an attempt by the ACLU to mask an anti-Christian and anti-American agenda{{fact}}.

Typical of ACLU litigation was its expenditure of millions of dollars on the [[Dover trial]] in order to prohibit an elected school board from introducing public school students to concepts or books concerning [[Intelligent design]]. At the end of this case the trial judge, who simlpy copied more than 90% of the ACLU's brief for his ruling <ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=3829&program=CSC%20-%20Views%20and%20News</ref>, approved an order requiring the school board to reimburse the seven-figure ACLU legal expenses. The judge also prohibited any mention of [[Intelligent design]] by teachers in the public school.
