ACLU Added to Tennessee Anti-Terrorism List for Urging Religious Inclusion 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------



And Homeland Security officials have apologized after adding the local
American Civil Liberties Union chapter in Tennessee to a list of
"terrorism events and other suspicious activity." The ACLU was included
after the group issued a plea to Tennessee schools to ensure that
holiday celebrations are inclusive for all religions. The list was put
out by Tennessee's Fusion Center, a collaboration of state and federal
law enforcement agencies.
