... should be obvious, Al.
Is there are final statement in the Anti-Slabbing Pledge which says, "I will renounce my membership in any non-profit organization that defends slabbers."?
No, there isn't. And, a non-profit organization of which I am a member did exactly that. Our club allowed the slabbers to show up at the convention two years ago, gave them a forum to present their views to the membership and, officially, declined to adopt most of what I advocated with respect to slabbing. I did not renounce my membership in the club.
BTW, while I am not a "supporter" of the ACLU (that is, I am neither a member nor a financial contributor), I respect their willingness to fight for unpopular causes. I sometimes disagree with them on specific issues, but believe they are generally correct on bill of rights issues. I do agree with the position they took on the KKK march in Skokie.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Widely (and incorrectly) attributed to Voltaire, though it does appear to describe his attitude on the subject.
On the other hand, I will not help pay the costs associated with the dissemination of your message. Jim Reilly (2003).
