The ACLU should be rightly called Against Christian or Catholic Liberties Union
Praise be to Jesus Christ now and forever!

Muslims are indeed a protected class under the law, as are others with religious affiliation. I don’t think that has much to do with the foot baths (the headline writer may have been confused), but it seems reasonable to install these if there are significant numbers of students who would otherwise feel the need to wash their feet in the sink. As you probably remember, that issue was discussed in another thread.

As to the Delaware topic, Bill Donohue is ranting on again, but I will leave it to others more knowledgeable as to whether he has a fair point - if he’s just whining about government employees having a degree of sovereign immunity, it’s hardly a new double standard - it dates back many centuries. Here’s a little bit about that:
The federal government and nearly every state have passed tort claims acts allowing them to be sued for the negligence, but not intentional wrongs, of government employees. The common-law tort doctrine of respondeat superior makes employers generally responsible for the torts of their employees.

The State determines what kinds of lawsuits are permitted to be entertained in state courts. Historically, they have always used this power to place limits on what kinds of suits can be filed against the state itself, or state employees or officials.

So it may well be true that if a particular action is taken by a priviate citizen or organization you might be able to sue them for their action, but if the same were done by a state employee you might not be able to sue. The rules regarding which suits are permissible are determined by the laws passwd by the legislatures.

So in particular, you might be able to sue a private school, or private school teacher for something for which you could not sue a public school system. In some cases this seems unjust, but like all laws you disagree with, such laws are changed through the political process.

The above facts have nothing to do with pro or anti-Catholocism, but are just a description of how our legal system works in the U.S.A. Much of the above applies to many other countries, but obviously the details may vary from place to place.
 
First off, tax monies are not going towards the footbaths as they’re being paid for by student fees; and second, their use is not restricted to Muslims only. They’re just more bathroom fixtures.

If I had attended a college with these installed, you bet I’d use them after a long day trudging to classes!
 
Regarding the UofM Dearborn thing, it just goes to show that the A.C.L.U. doesn’t have A.C.L.U.E.😃

Regarding Delaware, I am glad that the Catholic League is protesting about the favortism of teachers in Delaware. The media loves to cover the tragedy of the sex abuse scandal in the Church but also loves to dramatize the* forbidden love between a teacher and a student*. The italicized words show how the media will purposely label the exact same event differently.
 
I could not tell completely. Is this elimination of the statute of limitations only for lawsuits and criminal prosecution or just lawsuits?
