ACLU's attack on the Boy Scouts is legendary. Apparently ACLU does not
believe in freedom of association, either, if it involves groups that
it
does not like.

ACLU attempted to prevent the Boy Scouts from discriminating against
people. Hardly an attack.

Except the Boy Scouts is a private organization.

That wasn't decided UNTIL the courts ruled when the ACLU brought the
lawsuit; you can hardly fault the ACLU for arguing its side of a case
(much of which was based on the fact that many government agencies
sponsor BSA units. Note that I'm not talking about schools allowing BSA
units to meet; there were, and still are, lots of public schools and
other government agencies that own & operate BSA units.

How does an organization "own" a BSA unit?

The ACLU
is suing to remove this government sponsorship).
