<ul>
<li>Katherine Oh is Asian woman, worked there for years</li>
<li>often accused fellow ACLU-ers of sexism, misogyny, sexual abuse etc</li>
<li>after some years, ACLU fired her</li>
<li>parties go to administrative court (NLRB)</li>
<li>ACLU admits her comments showed NO overt racism, yet says she "seriously hurt" Black colleagues</li>
<li>judge-only trial in DC just ended</li>
<li>judge will rule in a few months</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Says, New York Times:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The <em><strong>[ACLU] defense - arguing for an expansive definition of what constitutes racist or racially coded speech - has struck some labor and free-speech lawyers as peculiar</strong></em>, since the organization has traditionally...operat[ed] on the principle that it may not like what someone says, but will fight for their right to say it...<br />
[ACLU argued in court,] it was irrelevant [that] Ms. Oh bore no racist ill will; [only relevant] that her Black colleagues were...injured.</p>

<p dir="auto">Fun.</p>

<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The judge said the ACLU's racism claims [against Ms. Oh] were not supported by evidence, as Oh's critiques targeted superiors regardless of race and were metaphorical or professional in nature (e.g., a Zoom comment about "beatings will continue until morale improves" was not literal or racial).</p>
