It’s not the apex of institutional hypocrisy, rather it’s the unmasking of political ideology. The ACLU is filing a lawsuit today in Virginia demanding that mask mandates against parents and student civil liberties be reinstated.
The ACLU wants the Virginia mask mandate reinstituted. The ACLU does not want parents and students to have a choice on whether to wear a mask.
The Washington Post headline is akin to folding the universe upon itself and looking back through the mirror: “ACLU challenges Youngkin order mandating choice on school masks.”
The civil liberties organization is arguing against allowing civil liberties.
(Washington Post) – […] The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Charlottesville on Tuesday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia; the ACLU is involved in similar cases in Iowa and South Carolina. The plaintiffs represent 11 students with conditions that include cancer, cystic fibrosis, asthma, Down syndrome and diabetes that make covid-19 more dangerous.
“Universal mask use may be necessary to protect some children,” the plaintiffs write. “For many of these children, Governor Youngkin has effectively barred the schoolhouse door.”
Eden Heilman, legal director for the ACLU of Virginia, said parents from across the state reached out to the group. “Some are keeping their kids out of school if they are able to,” she said. “Some work and there is no virtual option, and they simply have no choice but send the kid with a mask and hope that their kid doesn’t contract it and suffer really dire health consequences.” (read more)
No one is stopping the plaintiffs from wearing a mask. The plaintiffs are demanding that everyone else must wear them.
This lawsuit is akin to the FAA dropping their mask mandate for air travel, and yet the ACLU suing the airlines to keep every airline traveler in masks because immunocompromised people need to fly.
If it seems bizarro world the American Civil Liberties Union would be suing to keep civil liberties and choice away from people, it would be; except that the ACLU does not exist to promote civil liberties, the ACLU exists to advance political ideology under the guise of civil liberties.
The mask dropping from institutions continues (no pun intended).
Meanwhile, teacher union boss Randi Weingarten argues the way people “feel,” not science, should drive mask mandates on kids in school. WATCH:
Clearly it is about the science. Not that science. The political science. If you disagree with FauXi you disagree with the political science. Can’t let a little misunderstanding divide us.
Political Science is junk science. It’s all about lies and deception.
“Political Science is junk science”
actually: the correct term is: ‘pseudo-science’ ……..

Exactly. So if you disagree with FauXi’s Political Science, you are disagreeing with his lies and deceptions. Why would we do that?
The science of how to oppress and then totally subjugate a people to the control of a small Elite. Karl Marx and Noam Chomsky wrote the books on it.
I have a degree in Political Science and I fully agree.
How about making the teachers wear masks instead of the children. Problem solved.
In our shop we have developed a mask that is guaranteed to keep you from catching or spreading any respiratory disease for the rest of your life. It is the readily available plastic shopping bag, which worn properly will perform as advertised. We recommend that you set your affairs in order first.
And that plastic shopping bag will cost you 5 cents per bag in Fairfax County, Virginia, as of Jan.1 when that bag tax started.
Where do I go to donate for those that can’t afford that 5 cents each for theirs?!
Mask wearing will not solve any “problem” relating to C-19. Masks have been proven ineffective for virus transmission – even the best masks(N-95 Surgical) have pores ONE THOUSAND TIMES (1000X) larger than the virus!
Actually, at Senator Ron Johnson’s nearly 5 hour long covid hearing last week, experts did show a mask that has a chance of working against covid 19. But it only filters air that you breethe in; exhaled air is not filtered, since it would make breathing very difficult. So it only protects the wearer, not anybody else.
True technical solutions appear to fall into several camps:
P100 particle masks with exhale valve, mechanically assisted devices for highly filtered air, and surface active filters (surfactant/selective reactants/salt particles/salt solutions).
If they want to be faceless generic pronouns of homogenized collective political identities they can.
If they want to be diversity clones that look, think, and speak identically in uniformity, they’ll finally be equal.
Some animals are more equal then others. Two masks good, four masks better.
“Today, a group of us from Vernon Hills HS in District 128 arrived at school without masks protesting the mandate.”

The teachers are the carriers of Covid, not the kids.
Covid isnt very dangerous anyway so this is all much adieu about nothing
Aside from the issue of the pure hypocrisy of the ACLU, the federal court should dismiss this case immediately. The VA supreme court today upheld Youngkin’s executive order, and there is no federal controversy here. Masking or not masking is a decision the states have been making, not the federal government. The data is clear that masks don’t work and have never worked, and forcing children to wear them is straight up child abuse. With an objective judge, this should be dismissed within the first three minutes. With a communist judge, however, all bets are off.
Sadly it is not a state issue. There is currently a federal case in Knox County Tennessee schools brought by three families demanding that the schools force all students to wear masks. Despite recently passed legislation signed by the Governor that outlaws covid vaccine and mask mandates for schools in Tennessee, AND the Knox County school board voting against masks at the beginning of the school year, a federal judge in neighboring Greene County ruled in favor of the families and has been forcing all Knox County schools to wear masks. The kicker is that the federal judge in the case, RONNIE GREER, is a semi-retired Bush appointee and supposedly a “conservative” judge. This judge needs to fully retire and we need to seriously assess the kinds of judges that republicans have been and are appointing.
More on the decision of US District Judge (and Bush appointee) J Ronnie Greer and his horribly wrong and unconstitutional ruling:
“First off, it is important to recognize the crisis this ruling creates around the ever-encroaching federal government into our way of life here in Tennessee and our own ability to preserve it. Clearly, there is a boundary that exists between the reach of the federal government, and the sovereign authority of the state of Tennessee. It is also critical to keep in mind that the United States Constitution prescribes no duty to the federal government in terms of creating education policy or healthcare policy which should lead one to believe that these powers are left to the States, or to the People per the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Though we have abandoned that notion long ago with the creation of the US Department of Education, HHS, NIH, and the list of federal agencies that should not exist goes on.
This East Tennessee judge not only enjoined a Governor’s executive order (and now law passed by the state legislature) but essentially commandeered a locally elected policymaking body (i.e. the Knox County Board of Education) and ordered from a federal bench that this body enact a policy which they had already voted not to renew by a 5-4 vote. This to me is an egregious overreach from the federal bench. Whether or not he was simply interpreting federal law is not the point. The power to interpret federal law does not now give the black robes the powers to create or enact law. Further, for a federal judge to reach down through the barrier of the state and suppose he can force an elected body to create policy is outrageous.
But let us move on to the interpretation of the ADA itself, for it is quite dangerous and if promulgated throughout the rest of society could be life-changing for everyone. This judge has interpreted the ADA in such a way that moves beyond the schools and into every sector of society without the need for an emergency to exist and regardless of the contagion, communicable disease, or health issue at hand. The burden is no longer on the place of public accommodation to provide a reasonable accommodation to the disabled, but now on every individual, in this case, by complying with a mask mandate.”
The insufferable incompetence of US District Judge Ronnie Greer – Tennessee Stands
These kind of federal a-holes need to be arrested for state law violations like any drunk judge cruising down the highway at 100 mph and ignored on bad rulings.
Ignore the Judge – let him enforce his “law”.
And if they ignore him?
Just because a lower Fed. judge made that ruling does not make it a Federal issue!
Oh, I absolutely agree that it shouldn’t be. But the incompetent federal judge, republican appointed, made it one.
This isn’t the 1960s where federal over reach is going to get away with either bribe money, “federal grants”, or abuses of power threats with airborne.
It is more like 1770, with militia forming to drive off a higher level oppression and showing His Majesty’s offending judges the door.
AND call the various govt officials at school board and elsewhere to say that more than half our taxes go to schools that cannot please everyone. If those three families are immunocompromised and at risk, how about they form a safer “pod” and enlist volunteer peer tutors to come help them out.
By the way — One of my kids was a peer tutor… I was proud of her when she volunteered.
But soon dismayed, when an adult with poor judgment set her up to tutor a fellow student with a history of violent behaviors who bit her, hard.
Fortunately she had on a jacket, and he bit her on her arm, not her face.
I knew this kid from years earlier— a burly grown man aide had accompanied this kid with special needs, everywhere in his elementary school as a third grader, to keep this kid from assaulting classmates.
And then, when Mr. Biter was twice that size that had required a large aide — they set him aside with my not-so-big daughter and he attacked her? They couldn’t have anticipated that behavior based on past behaviors?
Some advocates in the special education community are highly impractical. These advocates are able to think only of the special needs children, and cannot accommodate the needs of others reasonably. One size does NOT fit all and it is a destructive fantasy to try and force that inappropriately.
There needs to be common sense pushback. There need to be strategies that work for more groups of people, working WITH volunteer spirit, not against it
There are special needs nazi moms that sacrifice the community to cater to their special, quivering lump of flesh or feral while trying to T4 (y)our kids and at fantastic costs that are not Constitutionally founded at all.
Libtards have done a great job of cultivating the Victim class over the decades. Very sad. if you feel your kids are in danger from unmasked kids STF home!
I agree we need better judges. But this IS strictly a state issue, no matter what is happening in TN or what some rogue federal judge decided. And any objective federal judge will dismiss this immediately. Unfortunately, there is a massive shortage of objective judges in this country. But Youngkin should enforce the order anyway, federal court be damned. We don’t live in a country governed by unelected judges, we live in a country governed by elected representatives. The only thing that has allowed the tyranny of the courts to persist has been the cowardice of the Executives, both state and federal. They need to stand up and lead.
Not just state and fed, local too. Local gubmint corruption and incompetence is rampant.
What is doubly irritating about this situation is the acute lack of common sense. If your child is endangered hy respiratory infections, why on earth would you want this vulnerable person mainstreamed among large crowds of sneezing coughing children?
When my dad was battling cancer, mom put her foot down about going to buffet restaurants and such. Yes Daddy went out and visited, but she didn’t want him exposed to the broadest possible opportunities for infection in the community.
But it seems like these Knox parents, while claiming to advocate for their children, want them in situations that challenge the healthiest children.
And don’t even get me started on Vitamin D. The school authorities say NOTHING about interventions that might do a LOT more good than masks.
These same Knox parents’ probably cant wait to vax their kids too
Start with Trump’s picks for SCOTUS.
lets spend some time Obama`s lousy picks made only on merit of race or gender .

Good grief.
Such educrats need to be removed.
Defunding may be the least restrictive method.
Every one of these localities that is challenging the new Va administration is a deep blue area. My prediction weeks ago was that they will fight EVERYTHING that Youngkin proposes. We’re sick of them already and are bracing for four years of torment on the state level, just like what we endured when Trump was in. Disgusting.
Nope. The Dems in the State Senate folded today. Half the Dems voted with Youngkin.
Yup. I posted this just before yours. 50% of the Dems voted to stop mask mandates for kids in school. All reps did too.
Yes, that was definitely a ray of sunshine! I’m just not feeling quite so tough these days…
That’s wonderful to know – thank you for posting that!
There’s an important silver lining: the patent governmental outrages are penetrating deeper and broader into the public psyche. Hence, many that had stayed above the fray of political battles (because others were fighting them) are now taking ownership of their communities.
Ironically, none of those nifty Chinese algorithms that can plot out complex series of events like the Covid scamdemic, could predict that mothers forced to stay at home in remote learning programs would gain a peak at their Marxist-inspired CRT. That is one of those sweet, unplannable outcomes that can blow up in the faces of such arrogant jerks that thought they had it all figured out.
Even the algorithm is scratching its head! ‘How did that happen?’
Like a friend told me. If you dont take an interest in politics it will take an interest in you
Thats why Soros has been getting Leftist judges elected for years with help from his funding. He knows the activist judges can undermine society no matter who the elected officials are who are making laws or trying to enforce them

SOS from New York State
Next week on February 14, 2022, the citizens of New York will lose bodily autonomy!
There appears to be a vote on February 14, 2022 to push through “laws” that would strip bodily autonomy due to nothing more than mere suspicion of communicable “disease”.
https://2ndsmartestguyintheworld.substack.com/p/sos-from-new-york-state
So, what happened to “my body, my choice”?
If bodily autonomy is going to be outlawed rhen couldn’t a challenge be made that would ultimately overturn Roe v. Wade?
Why do women who want to have abortions claim bodily autonomy and have it but other citizens are deprived of bodily autonomy?
Logic is not their strong suit on the left
Neither is intelligence.
And there is also supposedly a law coming up for a vote that goes away with single family home in NY. I am finally consider leaving.
So does that mean Bill and Hillary Clinton and George Soros will have to give up THEIR places?
I live in NY, and the communists in Albany can pass whatever they want, but this is obviously unconstitutional on multiple grounds and will be tossed. They live in a fantasy world in Albany, totally detached from the population of the state outside NYC. They may be able to round people up in NYC, but outside of the city, either the police won’t cooperate or the roar of disapproval will be so deafening they’ll back off like the terrified little cowards they are. And I think they won’t even pass this on the 14th, because the writing is already on the wall.
ALCU has been political for decades. I remember an incident in Manhattan, KS where soldiers from Ft Riley had a compliant that their civil liberties were violated. They asked ACLU to help. ACLU told them to pound sand. This was in 1980s.
This is much worse. This is an action demanding (neoMarxist) State actions against the bulk of the population.
The ACLU has decloaked to reveal it’s a Bolshevik “liberal” organization.
“American Civil Liberties Union Files a Lawsuit to Stop Allowing Civil Liberties in Virginia”
I think it’s essential that Americans understand that the founder of the ACLU was an admitted Fabian Socialist, the same people who I believe are now behind what’s happening in the US and much of the world. His name was Roger Baldwin. In fact, there is an award … the Roger N. Baldwin Medal of Liberty … that was established in 1989 in honor of the PRINCIPAL FOUNDER of the ACLU. Baldwin was, in a very real sense, the ACLU, as he served as its executive director for the first 30 years of its existence … until 1950.
Now the ACLU websites are careful to hide the fact that Roger Baldwin was a Fabian Socialist … and thus stealth communist. He was a 1905 member of Harvard chapter of the Fabian Intercollegiate Socialist Society … along with Stuart Chase, Guy Tugwell, Harry Ward, Walter Lippman and Felix Frankfurter, all of whom later became members of FDR’s so-called “Brain Trust”. The Brain Trust helped FDR plan and execute his New Deal and all the other radical changes he made in America.
In 1917 Roger Baldwin wrote, referring to a People’s Council of America that he and other socialists were trying to convene, “Do steer away from making it look like a Socialist enterprise . . . We want also to look like patriots in everything we do. We want to get a good lot of flags, talk a good deal about the Constitution and what our forefathers wanted to make of this country, and to show that we are really the folks that really stand for the spirit of our institutions.” As you can see, he was all for taking the Fabian Society’s coat of arms (a wolf in sheep’s clothing) to heart … hiding what they were. And if he was willing to lie about being a socialist, then why not also lie about being a communist?
And in fact, Baldwin was a student of communist Emma Goldman. He claimed Emma as “one of the chief inspirations of his life”. Just before the ACLU’s founding, he literally shared office space with a communist paper, New Masses. And in the 1935 Harvard Class Book, in a feature entitled “Thirty Years Later” about Baldwin’s 1905 class, Baldwin wrote “I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself… I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is, of course, the goal.”
Baldwin is reported to have told a fellow agitator: “Do steer away from making it look like a Socialist enterprise. … We want also to look patriots in everything we do. We want to get a good lot of flags, talk a good deal about the Constitution and what our forefathers wanted to make of this country, and to show that we are really the folks that really stand for the spirit of our institutions.” If Baldwin was this deceptive and dangerous a person, why wouldn’t the organization he founded be just deceptive and dangerous?
And it was. The US House of Representatives Special Committee on Communist Activities in the United States reported in January of 1931 that “The American Civil Liberties Union is closely affiliated with the communist movement in the United States, and fully 90 percent of its efforts are on behalf of communists who have come into conflict with the law.” They also reported that “it is quite apparent that the main function of the ACLU is to attempt to protect the communists in their advocacy of force and violence to overthrow the Government, replacing the American flag by a red flag and erecting a Soviet Government in place of the republican form of government guaranteed to each state by the Federal Constitution.”
But suddenly, in 1939, after all those years of communist support, Baldwin renounced Soviet-style communism and kicked those with overt Stalinist sympathies out of the organization. ACLU and Democrat propaganda like to claim Baldwin lost faith in the Soviets after a visit. If so, it’s not because of the horrors that came to light in the 30s (likes the famines and Gulags that killed and imprisoned millions) but because Stalin and Hitler signed a non-aggression pact (https://www.harvardsquarelibrary.org/biographies/roger-baldwin-2/ ). Baldwin couldn’t imagine making such an agreement with the enemy of communism. Plus, it may have been the only way to save the organization since many other organizations in the US were kicking stalinists out at the time. So he purged the ACLU only to make it look more palatable to Americans. He changed it’s spots, just like Van Jones changed his spots, but didn’t change his core goals. That’s the tactic that Fabian Socialists have used throughout their 150 year history. And it’s worked with gullible people.
Make no mistake … Roger Baldwin, principle founder of the ACLU, was a hardcore communist and remained one his entire life. In his book he even wrote “I don’t regret being a part of the communist tactic which increased the effectiveness of a good cause. I knew what I was doing. I was not an innocent liberal. I wanted what the Communists wanted and I traveled the United Front road to get it.” So treat anything the ACLU says or does with suspicion.
That was a good read. Thanks 😊
Thank you for an enlightening post!
Quite agree!
The FBI still had the ACLU on their un-American Communist fellow-traveler organization list in 1982. I interviewed a local FBI agent and reviewed materials on the matter for an Advanced Political Topics course in High School.
Following Statewide School Mask Mandate Suspension, Illinois Teachers Begin Harassing and Threatening Students – Teachers Union Vows Maskless Children “Will Be Dealt With”
HOW WILL THE CHILDREN BE DEALT WITH???

They have no business being teachers or being anywhere around anyone’s children.
One teacher even felt the need to threaten his students with the freezing cold weather. Ben Diggle, an AP US History teacher at East Peoria Community High School, posted a message to his students, telling
them to “dress warm,” but not too warm – adding that he will not allow Coats, hats, or blankets, per school rules.
This teacher should be fired. This is in Illinois in the winter. He was mad that they made masks optional

The ACLU and teachers unions are chock full of far left jews. Understand that Marxism originated with jews, was pushed by disproportionately by jews, and the diaspora jews who fled Europe during or after WW2 were disproportionately far left and Marxist in their ideology. They did not stop believing when they reached the safety of US shores. They advocated and pushed for changes that align with their desires for decades (eg economic equity, laws for protected classes, immigration reforms, “civil rights” reform used to strip whites of due process and equality under the law, etc).
Surely a coincidence that the same jewish diaspora is pushing the same thing still to this day.
Surely a coincidence that the NGOs, the unions, the advocacy groups, the racial equity groups, etc nearly all to a T are steeped in hugely disproportionately jewish leadership from start to present.
Time to wake up.
and there is a complicated story about the jewish takeover of ukraine at time of maidan massacre events of 2014 and ever since then, and up to ,including jewish president zalensky, to this day and Putin’s fury and ongoing resentment about that because I have read that Putin sided with russian orthodox christians in ukraine against the jewish takover in 2014——- my hunch is that there is serious feuding between russian orthodox christians and the ukranian jews who are in power, adding a deeper uglier dimension to the ukraine story which wont be solved anytime soon and wont be discussed in american press
Let me just answer by telling you an interesting anecdote. A close Jewish friend of mine who was a communist at one point in her life was lamenting the fact that Israel had turned much too conservative for her taste. So I innocently asked how that came to be, and she said that many waves of immigration from former Soviet bloc nations had turned her beloved Israel into a bastion of conservatism (of course, I chuckled silently to myself!).
I don’t think any explanation is really necessary. This anecdote nicely explains all the factors that form political opinions.
‘Putin’s fury and ongoing resentment’
Did Putin assist with the coup in Ukraine?
“While the crisis in the Ukraine appears to be geopolitical maneuvering between Russia and the West, in truth,
Russia is working in cahoots with international elites from the West.”
https://thenewamerican.com/ukraine-unraveling-the-planned-chaos/
Did Putin accuse the globalists of demonizing Stalin?
Did Putin praise Stalin as an “effective manager”?
https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-putin-decries-excessive-demonization-stalin/28559464.html
Is it even possible to demonize the COMMUNIST monster Stalin?
How many Russian orthodox Christians did the COMMUNIST Stalin kill?
How many Russian citizens consider the COMMUNIST Stalin an “effective manager”?
Mods, cleanup on Aisle 2.
Instead of instituting a speech code and silencing information you don’t like, how about refuting it with facts?
Just build them mini popemobiles, maybe tell Habitat for Humanity about a new cause celebre.
ACLU does not care about civil liberties. As with so many other leftist organizations it is not about civil liberties but leftist idealogies. Nothing more. We must defeat these communists. We will never surrender.
ACLU actually stands for American Communist Lawfare Union. They have not shown much respect for hard working honest Americans for a long long time.
Oh my God. I’m squirting tears.

😳 Well this is NOT good… (the Vacz)
(But it would definitely implicate Fraudci’s involvement.)
From October?
There were stories of HIV in the vaccines. About time this gets more exposure.
The “HIV in vaccines” came from an Australian attempt to produce a vaccine, that used *portions* of the HIV genome in the vaccine. It ended up being discontinued because trials showed it wasn’t very effective (although in reality, it probably was no worse than Pfizer’s — they were just better at fudging their figures).
However, “VAIDS” – Vaccine-Associated[/Acquired] Immune Deficiency Syndrome — does seem to potentially be a thing, NOT caused by the HIV virus, but caused by something in the mRNA vaccines (not clear whether the spike protein, nanolipids, or something to do with other components of the injection). Data shows that there is a 1-2 week period of *increased* susceptibility immediately after the injection, and possibly also greater susceptibility after it wears off in 4-6 months. AFAIK there’s also not a lot of good data on whether there’s increased susceptibility to infections other than COVID (but it wouldn’t surprise me if there is).
(But it would definitely implicate Fraudci’s involvement.)
That monster can’t wait to sell his murderous AIDS drugs to his newly created patients.
How many months have we already known this thanks to some conscientious doctors’ brave and early reporting…. Many of us have been posting that here in CTH comments under appropriate articles.
The quackcines screw up the human immune system. The globalists want the jab in every arm so a large percentage of the global population gets sick and dies from the normal pathogens we’ve lived with for centuries. why? Because there’s too large a population for the small number of Elites to control. Kill off a majority of seniors – they’ve fixed the Social Security & Medicare insolvency problem.
Well the ACLU was founded by a group of Stalinist lawyers that wanted to implement here in the US. That’s why they don’t defend freedom that works for a republic, but tyranny that removes freedom. That is why I call them the American Communist Lawyers Union.
The National Lawyers’ Guild is worse.

Great to see this video of fuel returned to the Convoy.

I’m not seeing any actual evidence that the fuel in the video was returned by police, rather than being new fuel brought by supporters. Also no evidence that a judge has ordered it. If anyone has proof (court dockets, video of police acknowledging the return) that would be good.

Why isn’t she wearing a mask? Never mind, I already know….
I’m surprised the ACLU did not pile on a peanut allergy kid in the plaintiff group and shut down Virginia peanut farmers, too.
I also wonder when we will see masks sold in Virginia with the stupid California labels warning that the masks may contain elements that California thinks cause cancer.
They always have been Communist and anyone that thinks otherwise is an idiot.
.
Being a committed free-speech advocate, once upon a time I was a young and naive ACLU volunteer attorney. The local chapter that I worked with got huge donations from local strip clubs and pornography publishers, and so that seemed to be primarily what they wanted to address, case-wise, with the occasional anti-Christian pro-atheist, pro- religious drug use, etc. case They were not interested in any of the proposed cases that I brought to them. Finally I resigned.
It bears remembering that the ACLU was formed after WWI specifically to protect pro-communist speech.
Seems like the ACLU spends a lot of time trying to remove Christmas displays from city parks???
In another life, I was in an Atlanta band. Won’t mention it’s name. Was an interesting mix
of hippies and rednecks. We were booked in at an ACLU event near Piedmont park. Won’t mention
the year. YTG was still quite the lefty back in those days.
That day was one of the first times, that I stated having a glimmer of things not being quite
“right”. People that lived in Atlanta back in the 80s, early 90s will remember the two lawyers
we called the “ponytails”. Having a little covid fog spell ( or might be suffering a little bit of CYA),
but the “ponytails” were HEAVY hitters on all the big profile, heavy TV exposure sensationalistic
trials back then. The Fred Tokars trial being the biggest, but this predated that by a few years.
The pony tail’s biggest thing that I observed over the years was this: They’d take on the high profile
case, then get into a big, overblown on air argument with the judge. Then they’d resign, and let
someone else take over and do the heavy lifting. The ponytails were a mutt and jeff team, if anyone
needs a little more refreshing. It took me a little time to catch on to the lay of the land, that involved
watching these two in action over the years.
The thing that I took away the most ? How utterly, absurdly, profoundly lucrative things were for the
ponytails and the ACLU bunch that was hanging around that day. The venue they hired for the event
was screw your expensive. The wining and dining we observed ( and took part in. No band passes up
free booze and food) was wayyy extravagant. Probably 100K worth of food and booze consumed, in today’s
dollars.
But, the biggest thing that took me by surprise was the custom shoes that one of the ponytails was wearing
that day. I’d worked in a job prior to moving to Atlanta that showed me who REALLY had money, and who
were the pretenders. I could look at your suit, your luggage, your shoes, your briefcase and know if you were
the one that had the dough, or was putting on the show.
One of the ponytails was wearing an expensive pair of custom made shoes. I estimated that the cost of said
shoes was more then the cost of the furniture in both my living and bedroom at the time.
That has always stuck with me. The lingering scents of that day helped swing my politics enormously. So,
maybe I should thank the ACLU for that day. The event was a benefit. And, it sure as hell wasn’t for the
disadvantaged.
They sucked you in, but it didn’t take long for you to realize it was a racket.
It took 25 years for this self described NYU left-communist professor to exit the milieu. Sad, but informative journey. He was not pretending for 25 years, as he explains.

I stopped being a member with The ACLU many years ago. At one point in time, they fought the good fight for those in need. It became evident to me that they were an ideological organization that no longer had perspectives that were agreeable to me. That is when I no longer was a member. FJB FACLU
I would hope any judge worth his salt would toss these lawsuits. The Governor is not forbidding the 11 students represented by the ACLU from wearing a mask if they so chose to protect themselves. I fail to see how any of their civil rights are being violated by others not wearing a mask. Then again, it is Virginia.
I’m sure they’re trying to claim that it’s “better protection” if the other students wear masks (“your mask doesn’t protect you, it protects others”). Completely contrary to reality, but it’s been the narrative pushed for most of the COVID scare.
Agree it is twisted logic. The ACLU seems to be arguing that their plaintiffs wearing a mask to protect themselves from an airborne virus is not effective unless everyone wears a mask. Total nonsense. It’s akin to a fair- skinned person, who uses an umbrella when outdoors to protect themselves from the harmful rays of the sun, demanding that everyone must use an umbrella when outdoors.
Creative isn’t it?!
I got home ealy from work this afternoon, took a nap, and woke up in the Twilight Zone. (SARC) The ACLU must be made to pay a price for what they have done to the country including this and their participating in the recent extortion of tax dollars ($450,00 each) on behalf of illegal invaders.
American
Communist
Lawyers
Union
Been that way since it’s founding by communist
Remember: ACLU founder Roger Baldwin stated, “Communism is the goal.” He was a ‘card carrying’ communist. ACLU staying true to form.
Frau Weingarten needs to return to der Vaterland.
Ugh.
Why shouldn’t the ACLU be against civil liberties?
The US Government is.
So if masks work (they don’t), then wear one. Problem solved!
American Communist Litigation Unit.
The ACLU is and always has been an oxymoron.
The ACLU was never about civil liberties for us only for a chosen few of their friends!
Irrefutable evidence of how sick minded and desperately furious these hate filled, brainwashed leftists are becoming. They have absolutely no grasp of reality. Irredeemable they ain’t gonna like it when things get set straight again. Not at all.
I have to say, some of my life long friends have fallen for this shit.
How could person with the ability to reason ever fall for this shit??
They need them some ” Honkening ” legal briefs methinks.
Immunocompromised should be able to fly with their own P100 mask or filtered Bipap if either vaccines ( ha, ha) or therapeutics don’t cut it.
I’m in this latter category and think the ACLU is a communist front organization, now de-cloaking.

The label on the mask box says….NOT FOR MEDICAL OR SURGICAL USE. WILL NOT PREVENT COVID-19 INFECTION! What idiot federal judge doesn’t understand that?
a communist one
Like anything the Left touches, the names are always the opposite of the original meaning..
Gays,. used to be happy, now it’s pissed off people.
Rainbow… used to be everybody, now it’s only gays.
ACLU…. totalitarianism.
Etc…
How about No.
Can we expect, now, that the ACLU will launch a similar action, to prevent the spread of aids? The logic of their recent filing compels that expectation.
Didn’t the ACLU hire rioters in Wisconsin?
The ACLU has been worse than useless for ages. That being said, this court case would be a good opportunity to present studies going all the way back to the Spanish Flu showing masks do nothing to stop the spread flu, covid, etc. Since “The Science” is settled on the uselessness of masks as a form of protection, the claim has been made that masks protect others. But where is the empirical data supporting that claim? Not speculative theories, DATA. So far, there is none. In the absence of such data, mere claims should not be considered valid by a court.
ACLU might just be a Soros sponsored entity.
When was the last time it lived up to its name?
Do these people understand how stupid they are? My science trumps your science. We used to talk about theory. What happened to that?
Of course, children with conditions like those undergoing cancer treatments and the like, can protect themselves with a mask, but allow them to go out in God’s fresh air (it’s free) to stop further infecting themselves with the carbon dioxide they emit. Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out. That’s fifth grade SCIENCE. . They’d be better off taking a pet plant to school and put it on their desk.
Seriously, Gov Youngkin needs to have an extensive meeting, with note taking, with Gov, DeSantis. Stop the steamrolling attempts, start making arrests, STAND tall Gov. Youngkin! Suspend teachers and schoolboard pay, Talk to DeSantis!
Hey school teachers….is this really the hill ? Your union is not as strong as the union of Mom and Dad. Get ready for a BIG loss
Mob rule isn’t any prettier merely because the mob calls itself a government.
