Earlier today there was a dairy protesting the ACLU rejecting a donation in the Constance McMillen case as being "too controversial".
I was one of the ACLU members who was upset, and wrote and told them so.
They have been fundraising based on the McMillen case.
I Just went and checked their web site, and I am pleased to report:
ACLU Apologizes To American Humanist Association
Dear Roy,
On behalf of the ACLU of Mississippi, I would like to offer our sincere apologies for the inappropriate e-mail you received from a member of our staff regarding your generous offer to sponsor and donate to a prom for Constance McMillen.
As I believe you’ve heard from the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition, MSSC makes the final decision about which sponsorship related offers to accept. It was an error for our staff member to insinuate to you that our organization had that decision-making power.
Furthermore, please understand that the sentiments expressed in the e-mail you received from our staff member do not reflect the views of our organization in any way. The ACLU of Mississippi is a stalwart defender of freedom of belief and expression for all, and we are appreciative of your commitment to protecting those principles, as well.
Nsombi Lambright
Executive Director, ACLU of Mississippi
I feel much better and will be sending my contribution now - I urge everyone to do the same.
