"I think the key problem is that James doesn't like what the ACLU is prioritizing, that is all"
Except that's a serious criticism.
"“case selection guidelines,” stipulating, “Speech that denigrates such [marginalized] groups can inflict serious harms and is intended to and often will impede progress toward equality.” Before agreeing to take a free speech case, the document continued, the ACLU would now consider “the potential effect on marginalized communities,” whether the speech advances the goals of speakers whose “views are contrary to our values,” and the “structural and power inequalities in the community in which the speech will occur.” "
i.e. you can't say something, even factual, if it doesn't support the ideological causes of a specific version of 'equity', or rather, the ACLU doesn't care about your rights in that endeavour.
And that right there, is the end of the ACLU.
