The '''American Civil Liberties Union''' ('''ACLU''') is a [[leftist]], [[secular]]-[[Progressivism|progressive]] [[organization]]. It was run for its first 30 years by an [[United States of America|American]] named [[Roger Baldwin]], who helped found it in 1920. Baldwin supported communism, but later denounced it in his book, ''A New Slavery'', which condemned "the inhuman communist police state tyranny" [http://www.harvardsquarelibrary.org/unitarians/baldwin.html]). This organization pursues a [[leftist]] agenda that includes [[censoring]] [[prayer]] and recognition of [[God]] in public institutions, such as [[public schools]]. Currently, Anthony Romero is the first openly gay CEO to run the organization. Declassified documents and letters link early ACLU leaders with [[Communist Party]]. <ref>[http://dailycaller.com/2011/01/04/the-aclu%E2%80%99s-untold-stalinist-heritage/ The ACLU’s untold Stalinist heritage, Daily Caller, January 4, 2011]</ref> Helen Chaffee Biehle also indicated in her article "Focus: The Seduction of the American Public Library" that the ACLU was also [[nihilism|nihilistic]] and individualistic in its philosophy since its founding.<ref>http://www.eagleforum.org/educate/1996/feb96/focus.html</ref>
