Burgy asked for a cite, and I responded with a quote from the LA Times:

"In the wake of the [Vista School Board] vote, American Civil Liberties
Union representatives stated that they are considering a lawsuit and will
sue immediately should any Vista teacher begin teaching biblical
creationism in the classroom."

Burgy responded:

<<<Thanks, Chuck. I can't get from that, however, to your original
statement!>>>

Hi, Burgy.

Why not? This is a public statement of the ACLU's intent to prevent the
teaching of creationism - exactly my original point. Your response evokes
the memory of a T-shirt I saw somewhere: "What part of 'no' do you not
understand?"
