But, since anyone can sue anyone for anything in the USA these days, best of luck to them.

Hopefully they lose and their idiocy will be complete.
I think that it may be "okay" to share their opinion if they specifically state that it is their opinion. For example, in the Benjamin Franklin instance, they could simply state something like "it is my opinion that old Ben had 500 children, because...". To state it as fact is a different issue altogether.
