The ACLU is an organization dedicated to preserving the rights outlined in United States law. Nowadays it is a nonpartisan organization that tries to step in when it thinks something is obstructing the rights of someone in the United States. The right that the ACLU most visibly defends is freedom of speech.
The ACLU is providing legal support for the case of a white supremacist rally organizer whose protest permit was revoked. The ACLU is doing this because it appears that the speech of the rally has caused the revocation. Since there is no law explicitly prohibiting white nationalism, this may be considered an act of discrimination as well.
Because of the organizations states that it will work to keep Trump's administration within the jurisdiction of court, liberals have supported them more in recent months, perhaps believing that the ACLU would threaten Trump or allow others to do so.
Since governments are susceptible to a diverse number of ideologies, the speech that the government may want prohibited changes as well. While current local governments may oppose something that seems morally reprehensible, the ACLU believes that setting limits on speech would give later governments the ability to repress other beliefs as well. Limits on free speech can silent everyone equally. For this reason. the ACLU argued in a similar case for the National Socialist Party of America in the 1970s after the village tried to deny the party the right to march.
Some believe that allowing supremacist groups to gain media attention and parade in the streets legitimizes their beliefs, causing some to think that such viewpoints are acceptable.
The ACLU's defense of Yiannopoulos has aroused controversy for the same reasons as the white nationalists in Charlottesville. A large number of people dislike his remarks on the inequality of men and women as well as race. On this matter, however, I think the American Civil Liberties Union would be better off protecting the rights of American citizens than a temporary worker on a visa.
