ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom), created decades ago, is a collection of attorneys organized to work cases that roll back civil rights. It is fundamentalists’ ‘answer’ to the ACLU.

ADF does not hide the fact that they are involved in organizing protests against our school boards; they tweet about it.
