inviolable—the ACLU is no longer itself. The organization known as the ACLU is now led by people beholden to an ideology purporting that the essential function of the Constitution has been to serve as a blueprint for white supremacy, and that its broad free-speech protections are not a tool of emancipation for society’s underdogs but rather the handmaiden of their oppression.
To get an idea of where they are now, the ACLU's latest effort is to complain that Arkansas has "become the first state to ban health care for trans youth". What Arkansas has actually done, in fact, is to stop Arkansas youth from undergoing gender reassignment surgery or hormone supplements until they're 18 by passing the Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act – an entirely praiseworthy move, taking a cue perhaps from the Keira Bell case here last autumn. So the ACLU are, basically, lying.
From the Glinner Update:
It's a sad decline.
