In response to my posting on corporal punishment in schools,
11212@Rochester.uucp adds a P.S.:
     
>What also bothers me is the ACLU, based on an admittedly
>small amount of information from reading the newspapers.
     
I mentioned my ACLU membership in the original posting only because
I wanted to indicate the context of my remarks, and my orientation.
I'd be happy to get into a discussion of the merits of the American
Civil Liberties Union, though perhaps that should be done in either
net.legal or net.politics, and kept out of net.kids.  Followup to
either group and we can see whether other netters would find such a
discussion useful.  Just to get things started, I'd note that ACLU
has been a group that primarily advocates procedural fairness in
application of the U.S. Constitution, with a special emphasis on the
Bill of Rights.  What bothers you about that?
