It's not just the ACLU that's threatening the Scouts, it's the ACLU and the courts.
The courts, at least recently, have been deciding in favor of the ACLU on this issue.
For example, in Portland Oregon recently,
Quote:
The Oregon Court of Appeals upheld a ruling Wednesday that Portland Public Schools discriminated against atheist students by allowing the Boy Scouts to recruit during school hours.
"Because eligibility to join the Scouts depends on religious belief, there is substantial evidence that the district thus subjects persons to differentiated treatment in a school activity on the ground of religion," wrote Chief Judge David V. Brewer in a 6-3 decision.
A lawyer for the school district and a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Education said they were reviewing the ruling and haven't decided whether to appeal to the Oregon Supreme Court.

So it seems that if the ACLU is anti-American, then the Oregon Court of Appeals is anti-American also.
My opinion: neither are.
