[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has the ACLU responded to the article? [/quote]

Why would they? They don’t believe they are wrong. Based on the ACLU’s own statements, they appear to believe that a Korean American woman who has suffered domestic abuse is lower ranked in oppression than a gay Black male supervisor. Therefore he cannot be wrong by dint of who he is, pretty much regardless of how terribly he acts. Conversely, she has to be wrong because she is the oppressor and he is the oppressed based on her identity.

The ACLU is [i]fighting[/i] this, remember. They are choosing this fight; they could have settled a long time ago. And it’s the NLRB — hardly a bastion of conservatism — that is fighting on behalf of Ms. Oh. Yet the ACLU is throwing itself into the fight. Why? Because foundationally the ACLU cannot accept that they are wrong here; that would upset the entire ethos and philosophy of the current organization. They [i]have[/i] to believe they are right here. They [i]have[/i] to believe that Ms. Oh is the oppressor. To quietly back down would mean examining the entire structure of their new belief system as an organization and they cannot face that.

while I'm not suprized they believe they are right, I am suprized they believe they can win.[/quote]
