But co-ed naked frolics are no fun with your parents around

The ACLU, while clearly laudable in purpose, sometimes displays a curious sense of priority. The latest example comes from Virginia, where the ACLU is attacking a statute that requires a parental presence at nudist camps for juveniles. Such a camp for youngsters between 11 and 17 was conducted in 2003 at White Tail Park--yes, that is the correct name. Virginia's General Assembly passed a law that requires each participant at these teen and preteen nudist camps to be accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian. The ACLU's Rebecca Glenberg contends that the law denies the right to "a normal camp experience"
