George H.W. Bush, 41st President of the United States, made the following comments during the first Bush-Dukakis presidential debate held at Wake Forest University on Sep. 25, 1988:
" don't agree with a lot of - most of the positions of the ACLU. I simply don't want to see the ratings on movies [removed]. I don't want my ten year old grandchild to go into an X-rated movie. I like those ratings systems. I don't think they're right to try to take the tax exemption away from the Catholic Church. I don't want to see the kiddie pornographic laws repealed; I don't want to see 'under God' come out from our currency. Now, these are all positions of the ACLU. And I don't agree with them."
