If that is what the ACLU did I would not have a problem with it. However,
the ACLU has consistently worked to prohibit the exercise of freedom of
religion,

Actually, they've done just the opposite. For instance, contrary to
right-wing disinformation, the ACLU defends the right of students to pray in
public schools--silently or out loud, alone or in groups. But the ACLU has
(quite properly) opposed allowing the government do anything to
orchestrate or promote prayer in public schools.

From the ACLU web site
(http://www.aclu.org/StudentsRights/S...?ID=9069&c=162): "Is
it ever ok to pray in school? Sure. Individual students have the right to
pray whenever they want to, as long as they don't disrupt classroom
instruction or other educational activities -- or try to force others to
pray along with them. If a school official has told you that you can't pray
at all during the school day, your right to exercise your religion is being
violated. Contact your local ACLU for help."
