I don't know much about them. I do know much about the ACLJ, though, and they are not a propaganda tool.

Am I to understand that, if you don't want to be a propaganda tool, you're required to not open your mouth? Really takes away a lot of the power that word had...
Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation aimed at serving an agenda. At its root, the denotation of propaganda is 'to propagate (actively spread) a philosophy or point of view'. The most common use of the term (historically) is in political contexts; in particular to refer to certain efforts sponsored by governments or political groups.

There we go. A teacher says to do something within his specifications then do it. All she had to do was follow simple directions, which she seems incapable of.

Well, she did it on purpose.
She was told not to use the word God and why. It's a logical 'shortcut' on a paper examining the role of religion in goverment. She was reviewed and warned what would happen. Asked to edit. She didn't.
She submitted a paper titled "In GOD We Trust" in protest.
Why do people martyr themselves then complain about it?
George Washington: “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”
Thomas Jefferson: “The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty. . . . Students’ perusal of the sacred volume will make us better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands.”
Andrew Jackson: “That Book [the Bible] is the rock on which our Republic rests.”
Ulysses S. Grant: “Hold fast to the Bible. . . . To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future.”

In response to those that support the instructors instructions to omit any mention of deity, specifically God (big "G," little "o," little "d"). Let's see how far that would go at Notre Dame, Brigham Young, Boston College, Liberty, Southern Methodist, or heaven forbid... Oral Roberts.

Exclusion of a integral historical factor in a dissertation? (Count how many times that dirty word "God" appears in the Declaration Of Independence, The Constitution O TheUnited States, and countless other documents) I'm sure the University of _________ (fill in your favorite oppressive country's institution) does the same.

but the whole point of the teacher was not to use god as a shortcut, and "God did it" is a shortcut, just like my Japanese Lazar and the Martian Monkeys comparisson.(spelled wrong dang it)

If the original assignment specified not including the use of references to God,
or if in intermediate stages the instructor informed the student,
Then the student has to conform to the instructors constraints,
This is how school works.
It forces your brain to do things other than its standard pattern,
