Happy Holidays from the ACLU of SD

2011 Happy Holidays

While some insist that the ACLU has some kind of bias against Christmas and the spirit of the season, this couldn't be further from the truth -- we believe strongly in religious freedom and in everyone's right to celebrate in their own way. The ACLU position is simply that government should stay neutral on religion by not endorsing things like religious displays or promoting any particular holiday or religious tradition. Instead, the government should leave it to individuals, families, and religious communities to decide what to celebrate, and how.

We invite you to read stories, watch videos and get the real scoop on the how the ACLU protects your religious liberties. 'Tis the season to be jolly -- in any way you choose to be!

Posted December 6, 2010, this parody appropriately highlights some of the attitudes we here at the ACLU tend to see around the holidays.

Thanks to our friends at the ACLU of New Mexico and the ACLU of Massachusetts for suggesting these links.
