ACLU gets destroyed on Twitter for opposing due process on campuses
Today, The American Civil Liberties Union publicly abandoned part of it’s core mission statement when it joined with victims’ rights activists in opposing Title IX reforms on college campuses. The responses on Twitter are brutal and pretty hilarious. For more background go read Reasons article on this.
There was a disturbance in the legal Force, as if the voices of generations of ACLU civil libertarians cried out in anguish and were suddenly silenced by wokeness. https://t.co/EGHvovbiQc

How long before the ACLU starts putting "due process" in scare quotes?

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.

I never thought I'd see the ACLU say "unfairly favors the accused"

The day the ACLU gave up on 'innocent until proven guilt' and due process.

This is reprehensible. The accused deserve due process. Period.
Shame on you ACLU. The kangaroo courts that take place on campus are the very definition of violation of civil liberties.

Adjudicative processes like these are *supposed* to favor the accused. The burden of proof is, and should be, on the accuser.

You have abandoned your core principles and in the process lost goodwill and credibility from anyone but the most ardent left wing activists. This is a self-imposed error and will haunt you folks for a generation. We will all be worse off because the ACLU has lost credibility
