The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is planning to distribute some… literature… to public high school students in Florida:

An atheist group is planning to distribute a pamphlet in several Florida public high schools that depicts an illustration of a cartoon Bible sexually assaulting a young woman.

According to a report by Brittany Hughes at CNSNews.com, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) plans to hand out a pamphlet entitled “An X-Rated Book: Sex and Obscenity in the Bible,” with a front cover that is illustrated with an animated Bible with arms, legs, salacious facial expression, and salivating mouth, with its hand aggressively extended up the dress of a screaming woman, who is attempting to run away from it.

As you may recall, the FFRF has used tactics of intimidation to stifle academic freedom in courses in a public university and remove the Star of David from a Holocaust memorial on the grounds of the Ohio state capitol. Yet the FFRF itself plans to provide public high school students with a pamphlet depicting the Bible sexually assaulting a woman.

I need not point out the irony. At least this clears up any misunderstanding as to whether the FFRF is an organization advocating consistent Constitutional principles, or an anti-religious hate group.
