Actually they were founded by advocates of eugenics, right our of Hitler's playbook; i.e. create the master race through breeding manipulation. They have always been a scary radical leftist organization.
Actually, if this question was asked to a devout muslim, his answer may well be "yes, destroy the statue immediately!". Does anyone remember when Taliban destroyed ancient statues of Buddha in Afghanistan despite international outcry? They take the second commandment (You shall not make a graven image) very seriously.

So, you're telling me that Helen Keller (yes, she was a founding member of the ACLU) was an advocate of eugenics (or founded an organization with eugenicists)? I find it rather strange that she would advocate a policy that aims to disallow people like her to exist.
Don't forget they also went to bat for neo-Nazis, the Westboro Baptist Church (the gay and military funeral protesters), and many other far right-wing elements - as well as many, many, many Christian churches.

Hitler wouldn't fit in to his own eugenics program and wouldn't have been a member of his own "Master Race". So to think they Keller might have thought the same way isn't much of a stretch.
The founders of the ACLU, including Keller, were adamant supporters of communism and were members of the Socialist party. Socialists advocate all sorts of things that wouldn't allow people like Keller to exist.

Oh, my! Please provide some actual historical data to support your contention.
I'm not going to go into detail on everyone of these but the ACLU had ulterior motives on every one of these. ACLU Fights For Christian Inmate's Right to PreachThe ACLU will defend ANY criminal for ANYTHING. What happened to the seperation of church and state? Its OK for the criminal to preach but not the victim? The ACLU has fought tooth and nail thousands of times to ban prayer in a multitude of places including prison. For them to turn around and taut this as DEFENDING a christian. Get real. This is spin doctoring at its worst. ACLU of Northern California Fights Law that Got Quakers Fired Over Loyalty Oath They weren't defending quakers. They were defending communists. The quakers just happened to get caught up in the same law. ACLU Defends Right of Individual Christian to Display Nativity Scene on Public Property
The ACLU wasn't defending her right to put up a nativity scene. A law was passed that prevented non-residents from putting up displays. They were fighting against that law. It had nothing to do with her religion. ACLU Defends Christians Protesting Gay Rights in Florida The ACLU was protecting their own ability to protest. If the anti gay rights rally was put under restraints then ALL rallys would be under the same restraints, including PRO gay rights rallys.. The ACLU can't have that. ACLU Champions Religious Freedom Of Mormon College Student This was about a scholarship. The ACLU didn't in anyway defend his religious freedom. ACLU Fights for Christian Church's Mission to Feed the Poor The ACLU didn't fight for anything. They made a phone call. Thats it. A Republican did the fighting. ACLU Fights for Christmas Tree
This is the most laughable one of all. IT WAS THE ACLU THAT WAS THROWNIG A FIT. They didn't defend a damn thing.
There's not one single case were the ACLU didn't have its own agenda.
The ACLU is of the liberals, by the liberals, and for the liberals. The rest of US be damned.
