Slow clap ACL, teaching young people society is unravelling because their draconian views are being mocked, the ACL is nothing more than a fundamentalist think-tank determined to set society in the dark ages, no rights for women/religious institutions privileged above all else. They should all be institutionalised. Then throw away the key.
