Isn't that the US free speech ideal? Didn't the ACLU use to defend the right of KKK members to hold rallies for exactly this ideal?

No, compelling a company to host speech it doesn't agree with is not the free speech ideal.

What do you think the KKK would do at those rallies? Share cookies?

The ACLU was stupid for defending the KKK and I'm glad they've wised up.
