Jeff Jacoby, JD Biography
- Title:
- Opinion Columnist
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Is the ACLU Good for America?"
- Reasoning:
-
“The ACLU has fought to stop town plows from clearing snow in church parking lots, to prevent Mothers Against Drunk Driving from putting up small white crosses at the sites of fatal drunk-driving accidents, and, of course, to shoot down anything that smacks of organized prayer on public school grounds. But it is hard to see how it can possibly top its latest campaign: an assault on the motto of the State of Ohio.”
