So said Chuck Samuelson, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota, after releasing hundreds of documents Monday from its lawsuit against a local charter school in the Gopher State it accuses of using tax dollars to promote Islam.
The ACLU filed its lawsuit against Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TiZA) in 2009, claiming that the publicly-funded charter school violated the First Amendment requirement of separation of church and state.
