    Kind of. As a private institution the ACLU is free to enforce restrictions like this if it chooses to. I would argue that there is still an ideal of free speech that people can believe in beyond its legal definition, which I would have hoped the ACLU does.

      Based on your other comments, it didn’t seem that you were talking about the ideal of free speech, especially since you specifically mention that the joke was making fun of people who use idealized (aka ‘only what they like’) definitions.

      Maybe I just missed the context, though.
