I thought the ACLU liked men who wear dresses in public!

Tongue Tied features the following piece of idiocy from Texas:

The ACLU is objecting to plans by Harris County officials in Texas to name a new park after the late John Paul II, according to the Houston Chronicle, claiming that to do so would be insensitive to other faiths.

County Commissioner Steve Radack wants to build an 865-acre park in his district near Houston and name it in honor of the late pontiff.

But ACLU officials questioned whether taxpayer money should be used to promote a particular faith.

"I would not want to name some park the Dalai Lama Park because some people might not be Buddhists," said Randall Kallinen, president of the ACLU Houston chapter. "It is insensitive to other religions."


I'm sure.

I guess only agnostics can have parks named after them, eh?
