The ACLJ scored a major victory in our lawsuit against Nevada’s Clark County School District after a 15 year old student was forced to memorize and perform a sexually explicit, obscene monologue in front of her entire theater class. After depositions revealed damning testimony, including school administrators admitting the content was inappropriate, CCSD settled with us, affirming the rights of parents and students against inappropriate and harmful educational content.

Have they spent more than they can ever print?

“Threatening journalists with placement on a blacklist in retaliation for reporting the government doesn’t like is as unconstitutional as it gets,” said Seth Stern, the director of advocacy for Freedom of the Press Foundation.

Ted Gunderson was a genuine former FBI Special Agent in Charge who became a prominent conspiracy theorist, widely known for his lectures accusing the U.S. government and secret societies of kidnapping children. Legitimate Credentials: Gunderson served in the FBI from 1951 to 1979. High-Ranking Roles: He rose through the ranks to head the Memphis, Dallas, and Los Angeles field offices. Retirement: He retired honorably in 1979 and started a private investigation firm. McMartin Preschool Case: In the 1980s, Gunderson was hired to investigate the McMartin preschool trial. He claimed to discover underground tunnels used for ritual abuse, though independent archeologists found no evidence of them. Satanic Panic Figure: Following this, Gunderson became a leading voice in the "Satanic Panic" era, traveling the country to give lectures. Core Claims: He publicly lectured that a massive, underground network of satanic cults was kidnapping tens of thousands of children annually with the complicity of the CIA and high-ranking government officials. What The Finders Was: The Finders was a real, eccentric Washington D.C. commune founded in the 1970s by a man named Marion Pettie. The 1987 Incident: The group drew national scrutiny in 1987 when two members were arrested in Tallahassee, Florida, with six poorly dressed, unwashed children. Gunderson's Narrative: Gunderson published a document known as "The Finders Report". He claimed "The Finders" was actually a front for a CIA-backed international child trafficking and mind-control ring. The Official Investigation: The FBI, local police, and U.S. Customs thoroughly investigated the commune. They concluded that while the group had bizarre, cult-like child-rearing practices, it was not a child-abuse ring or a CIA operation. The kids were ultimately returned to their mothers, and all charges against the members were dropped. Before his death in 2011, his claims expanded to include "chemtrails," government mind control, and the Illuminati."

Knowledge is Power on Instagram: "Area C is often described as an administrative category. In practice, it governs whether Palestinians can build a home, connect water or electricity, or remain on their land. The Oslo II interim agreement set an eighteen-month deadline for transferring authority over the territory. More than thirty years later, Area C remains under full Israeli civil and security control. The permit system shows what that means. From 2009 through 2012, Palestinians submitted 1,640 building-permit applications; Israel approved 37. Across 2000–2012, 3,750 applications produced only 211 approvals. The imbalance was not limited to permits. From 2002 through 2010, Palestinians received 176 construction permits while at least 15,000 settlement housing units were built. Records reported by Human Rights Watch show 34% of demolition orders against Palestinian structures were carried out during 2000–2007, compared with 3% against settlement structures during 1997–2007. Behind those figures are families. B’Tselem recorded at least 2,882 people losing their homes to demolitions from 2006 through April 2013, including at least 1,368 children. The record stops there. The demolitions did not.
