Last week the once-proud ACLU sent a letter to 650 colleges and universities defending the “rights” of student groups to provide material support for anti-Semitic genocidal terror. The letter was legally and factually wrong on its face, and belied a laziness bordering on negligence. It is sad, but not surprising given the organization’s recent track record when it comes to protecting Jews.
The ACLU’s missive was ostensibly written in response to a letter sent by the Anti-Defamation League and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law last week, which urged university presidents to investigate the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters on their campuses to see if they were in fact doing what they explicitly claimed to be doing, i.e. providing material support for U.S. designated terrorist groups. The ACLU claimed they “are aware of no evidence” supporting the claims made in that letter, or in similar statements made by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis when his administration actually defunded SJP for those same reasons. But if the ACLU is truly unaware, they are either incompetent or willfully ignorant.
