In a September 9 Washington Times column, Robert Knight compared the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to “the devil,” suggesting both are attempting to “corrupt innocent children.” Knight further complained the ACLU goes “far beyond promoting tolerance and openly promote[s] homosexuality.” From the Times:

I'd cloak sexual promiscuity in terms of self-fulfillment, mix it up with junk science and lobby the teachers unions to openly promote the Kinsey sex education model of children as “sexual beings” whose “orientation” has no moral relevance.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is running around the country, shaking its fists at school districts and demanding that kids be exposed to whatever the homosexual movement deems appropriate.

Having lost the library fight, the ACLU is concentrating on schoolchildren. The websites for the gay groups that the ACLU is representing are not porn sites, but they are gateways to a world of temptation for vulnerable children unsure about their sexuality. They go far beyond promoting tolerance and openly promote homosexuality.
