I think you are underestimating the damage caused by this considering the degree to which public policy is shaped by academia.

  Yes because the editorial board of "Gender, Place, and Culture" are know for writing most of the civil liberties legislature. I'm sure everyone @ ACLU is a subscriber /s

    ACLU has had some interesting re-alignments recently, so it doesn't come out quite as tongue in cheek as perhaps intended. https://www.vox.com/2017/8/20/16167870/aclu-hate-speech-nazis-charlottesville https://www.vox.com/2017/8/20/16167870/aclu-hate-speech-nazi... and this happened specifically because it was pressed to do so by people who, for the most part, subscribe to the same ideology as the editorial board of "Gender, Place and Culture" (author is a "Critical Race Studies fellow at the U.C.L.A. School of Law"): https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/17/opinion/aclu-first-amendment-trump-charlottesville.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/17/opinion/aclu-first-amendm... Then you have activist students actually shutting down ACLU presenters on the campus because “liberalism is white supremacy”: http://flathatnews.com/2017/10/02/black-lives-matter-protests-american-civil-liberties-union/ http://flathatnews.com/2017/10/02/black-lives-matter-protest... So yes, it's definitely affecting things.
