Nope. Never mention it.
They've been taken over by identitarians and it really shows. When the Thomas Jefferson Center released their list of "Muzzles", a lot of college campuses made the list. What has the ACLU done? Jack fucking shit.
The next day, when MU’s student body vice president suggested on national television that the exercise of First Amendment rights creates a hostile and unsafe learning environment, the ACLU of Missouri remained silent. . . .
The same pattern repeated itself in Connecticut during the same month. When Yale University student protesters interrupted a free speech symposium on campus, and spat on attendees trying to leave the venue, the ACLU of Connecticut remained silent.
In the vacuum created by such deafening silence, the rudderless ACLU chapter at Wesleyan University signed on to a list of student demands that included “an anonymous student reporting system for cases of bias, including microaggressions, perpetrated by faculty and staff.” The demands supported by the Wesleyan ACLU chapter also called for the “revision of … professor evaluations to include a section dedicated for reporting … microaggressions … perpetrated by instructors.”
The Cato institute isn't the most unbiased of sources but even the former president has said the organization has lost its way. It doesn't even consider freedom of speech a fundamental freedom anymore for fundraising purposes, won't protest antidefamation laws about religion, and will celebrate SCOTUS justices who have fundamental different views (how hard is it to say "It's great there's more diversity in SCOTUS but her viewpoints are restrictive by our definition") I just don't see this ACLU defending the rights of Neo-Nazis, the KKK, or Westboro Baptist Church. They might not even defend Iraqi war protesters anymore if they thought it would affect fundraising.
I wish the ACLU had stayed focused on freedom of speech and assembly instead of widening their net to "civil liberties". Just like SPLC and Amnesty International, widening their scope has put pressure to increase fundraising, watered down their message, and they're now just another vehicle for progressive politicking and bitching. |
