ACLU can’t stick it to veterans memorial in Tarheel State Mayor of King, NC, adopts ADF policy, citizens’ right to honor veterans according to city tradition
KING, N.C. — The city of King will adopt a policy crafted by the Alliance Defense Fund that will preserve its citizens’ right to honor U.S. veterans through a display consisting of 11 flagpoles, which was attacked by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The city council of King voted Monday to commission ADF to craft a “limited public forum” policy that protects the rights of citizens to honor local traditions at a public veterans memorial in a city park. “The far left agenda of organizations like the ACLU should not squelch the right of citizens to honor U.S. veterans in the way that they see fit,” said ADF Senior Counsel Joseph Infranco. “The ACLU’s latest attack on religious symbols and expression in the public square is a slap in the face to local veterans, who say it dishonors the fallen warriors who the memorial is meant to celebrate. The city council’s adoption of our policy will ensure that its citizens will be allowed to honor American heroes free of unwarranted censorship.”
