The EFF didn’t change. You just went off the deep end. They don’t care about your pet issue of alt-right 4chan stars not getting rooms at universities because there just is no right to get meeting space at public universities.

(And what a surprise that what bothers you most is the EFF supporting a woman)



I'm not sure whether the EFF changed, but the ACLU certainly has.

Once upon a time, the ACLU believed so deeply in the First Amendment that they fought National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie all the way to the supreme court. You may remember the plaintiffs from the Blues Brothers movie, perhaps? The Illinois Nazis? Skokie, the town, was deliberately chosen because it had a large Jewish population, and many Holocaust survivors, yet the ACLU went to court to fight for these bona fide Nazis, and won them the right to wear their Nazi uniforms and their swastikas when they marched, carrying their hypocritical signs about "white free speech."

Can you imagine the ACLU doing that today?


The former President of the ACLU has decride the current positions taken by the ACLU. I believe she wrote a book on it.

I actually remember the Skokie march. We were kids. I loved the ACLU and so did everyone else I knew. They were like Free Speech super-heros. They were an institution, a force, feared and respected.

Now, yeah, well....
