The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana today filed a lawsuit on behalf of a public-school teacher, claiming that House Enrolled Act 1608 (HEA 1608), a law that prohibits “instruction” on “human sexuality” in grades K-3, infringes her constitutional rights.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Kayla Smiley, a public-school teacher within the Indianapolis Public School system.
The suit claims that, in addition to First Amendment violations, HEA 1608 is overly broad.
She says she is unable to determine how to conform her behavior to the law so as to not risk losing her license.

OF course they are. If it’s bad for people or kids the ACLU is for it. These people are the worst. They do not represent rights or civil liberties unless those liberties are against our kids or a decent society. The problem is in the civil rights act. Legal fees are paid our of the federal treasury when the case is about civil rights. To the ACLU money grubbers every cases is about civil rights so they can get attached permanently to the federal tit, in other words, we pay for out own destruction.
HEA 1608 doesn’t restrict the Constitutional Rights of that POS “teacher”. It limits what she can do ON THE JOB as part of her JOB, and is the same sort of statutory limitations that all of us have to deal with ON THE JOB.
Kayla/Kyle still has all their rights OUTSIDE the classroom, but her/his/its behavior inside the classroom must conform to the standards put forth by our duly elected legislature.
The ACLU is a trashbag leftist organization, and more and more people are noticing this every single day because of stupid lawsuits like this one.
Although you may not agree with every battle the ACLU takes on, they definitely protect our civil rights and freedoms. They are currently fighting a law Holcomb signed to keep witnesses away from crime scenes where the public should have the right to witness and record the actions of police that WE PAY FOR.
House Enrolled Act 1186 requires that you stay back 25 feet from police after you’ve been told to stay back. Oh the horror!!! Honestly, if you can’t see and your phone cannot record from 25 feet, you’re a lousy witness anyway and should be somewhere else.
25 feet is one pace beyond the “21 foot rule”, meaning that someone with a knife running toward police, could cover about 21 feet before officers unholster their gun and fire. There’s a REASON they chose 25 feet.
If the investigation was into the death of YOUR loved one, you’d want the cops to be able to work unmolested. Why are you opposed to the same courtesy for someone else? Do you refuse to pull over for ambulances also? After all, it’s not you inside…
The ACLU is protecting people who harass police at crime scenes, they are NOT protecting you. Probably.
