The ACLU’s response to all of this – which is the least due process guarantees with regard to sexual assault – was to oppose it. Following on the ACLU’s decision to oppose the nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh based on nothing but Leftist politics, now the ACLU has abandoned its raison d’etre: civil liberties. Here was their statement, via Twitter:
“Inappropriately favoring the accused” is a phrase no one could have rightly expected from the ACLU in the past. But being truly woke means taking your civil liberties principles out to a corn field and then burying them alive like Joe Pesci in Casino.
INSANE: ACLU Now Opposes Accused Students Having So Many Rights, All To Bash Trump
We advocate for fair school disciplinary processes that uphold the rights of both parties in campus sexual assault and harassment cases. Today Secretary DeVos proposed a rule that would tip the scales against those who raise their voices. We strongly oppose it. The proposed rule would make schools less safe for survivors of sexual assault and harassment, when there is already alarmingly high rates of campus sexual assaults and harassment that go unreported. It promotes an unfair process, inappropriately favoring the accused and letting schools ignore their responsibility under Title IX to respond promptly and fairly to complaints of sexual violence. We will continue to support survivors.
