Hate speech is explicitly exempt from U.S. Free Speech protections.

That’s not true. The US restricts speech that incites imminent criminal behavior. That’s all.

The ACLU is famous for defend a Nazi rally through a Jewish town of Skokie, IL.

That ACLU is dead now.

In an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court, the ACLU and ACLU of Massachusetts argue that Boston’s denial of Camp Constitution’s request to display its flag violated the group’s free-speech rights

On March 2nd 2022. You made the claim the ACLU is dead , what evidence do you have to support that?

The state-level ACLU seems to be more immune, but the national level ACLU is fracturing and advocating speech limits.
