ACLU ...I mean ACCU

The Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU) is beginning to sound like the ACLU, defending the ridiculous.

In this case, as CATHOLIC education institutions, they are calling for the U.S. Bishops to tweak a minor Catholic stance:

IS: “The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.” (Catholics in the Political Life)

CHANGE TO: 'IT'S OKAY FOR' - “The Catholic community and Catholic institutions TO honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should BE be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.”

Ridiculous... you bet
