The once self proclaimed champion for civil liberties, and free speech has restructured itself from "champion for all", to "mercenary for hire"; nationalists, whites, white-nationalists need not bother to request services. You will not be protected.
In a rather uncharachteristic move for the organization; the leadership has decided it will not protect the civil liberties of certain groups. Under new guidlines certain groups will be precluded from assistance or aid by the once upon a time self proclaimed champion for all. And instead will be left to go it alone, as board leadership has determined that certain groups civil liberties aren't worthy of protection. A rather stark departure from the groups foundational princples.
The ACLU Retreats From Free Expression
The new guidelines assert that “no civil liberties, or civil rights value should automatically be privileged over any other.” But it’s clear that free speech has become second among equals.
The ACLU leadership had apparently hoped to keep its new guidelines secret, even from ACLU members. They’re contained in an internal document deceptively marked, in all caps, “confidential attorney client work product”, that was distributed to select ACLU officials and board members, who were instructed not to share it.
Long story short... Effective immediately, the ACLU will no longer defend White Nationalists from attacks against their Civil Liberties.
