The ACLU, that champion of civil liberties (but only for progressives), is trying to shut down an adoption agency in the state of Michigan because it has a religious foundation. This has become a trend, with something very similar happening right now in Philadelphia (the state cut ties with a religious foster agency putting dozens of children in limbo), and it needs to stop. The last thing the government or the ACLU needs to do is meddle in the business of agencies placing foster children in loving homes because said organizations are religious.

In Dumont v. Lyon, the ACLU is suing the state of Michigan, hoping to force it to end its partnerships with religious adoption agencies. The ACLU sued the state of Michigan last year to forbid the state from partnering with faith-based adoption agencies. Never mind the fact that this would put the lives of foster children who depend on this agency for placement at risk of being in limbo and without the care they need.
