Without A CLU
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Jun 30, 2004
The ACLU has discovered a new assault on the Bill of Rights: A Virginia law that bans nude camps for teenagers.
You can see their logic immediately, I'm sure. Allow the legislature to prevent teenagers from running around naked together, and pretty soon they'll be banning apple pie and baseball.
I'm not making this up. The actual quote from the ACLU representative is:
Using the overall logic of this law, legislators are now free to prevent children from swimming, playing baseball or riding a bus.
