Who is the ACLU?


On Engagement day, I did not know what to expect. When I got to the chapel, I learned that we were going to meet our freshmen year seminar professor and group. When I heard that, I thought "oh ok, that doesn't sound too bad." We walk into the room and it is hot from the summer heat flowing into the room. For about 15 minutes, we talk about the syllabus and what the semester brings. After that, the ACLU walks in.

ACLU is a nationwide group in which they are based on principle. This group is guided on principles and morals to protect all the rights that were given at birth, and which were given to us from the people of the past. What the ACLU does is try to change policies and laws, but mainly change hearts and minds.

The reason why they want to change policies and laws is to protect all people and all conditions possible. They are doing this, so that when in need anyone can use these laws and rights for protection.

Before meeting the ACLU, I knew nothing about this group. However when I met a few of their representative, my eyes were opened. I never knew how many rights I had as a person and the extent of those rights.
