I can't read the article yet, but thank you for posting it. I wouldn't support the ACLU if it didn't support right wing speech also. This sort of thing loses support for the ACLU, but people who stop supporting them bc of stuff like this never got the point. Supporting only the right to speech one supports is not supporting free speech. Who wouldn't support speech they agreed with? The test is to support the right of speech you despise.

Agreed... it's like the "Straight Pride" t-shirts that some school banned students from wearing on Gay Pride day. I thought that was stupid. Gay students were allowed, even encouraged, to wear Gay Pride t-shirts... but when a straight student wore a Straight Pride t-shirt they were asked to remove it because someone said it offended them.
