Submission statement: This article details a current court case regarding the ACLU terminating one of its workers due to comments made towards higher-ups criticizing their management style and the worker suing the organization for an unlawful termination which, based on the worker’s claim, involved the ACLU describing her comments as racism which the employee clams was not involved in her comments.
This is relevant due to the potential impact on free expression practices in the workplace. It’s also relevant due to the ACLU’s continued shift in focus from defending civil liberties even when it involves unpopular figures among the left-wing to more of a generic left-wing advocacy organization even when the ideas it advocates for are more illiberal.
