Academic societies can have whatever ideologies they wish. Go present at a conference that doesn't have an ideology you don't have. That's true freedom. This is the same thing as Trump complaining about being banned from twitter. It's anti-capitalism and anti-freedom.

A lot of public money goes in to these organizatikns and their research.

Can an academic society in the USA today have an ideology explicitly presented as "the advancement and preservation of the white race"? No? Then your whole argument falls apart.

[workingon]

Yes, it definitely can. It'd just be laughed out of the building and no one but assholes would present there. AKA freedom works perfectly

Nothing stopping the American Nazi Party from holding a conference.

The white suprematists found it more effective not to explicitly state their ideological goals.

There are plenty of academic legal societies very interested in “states’ rights”, “returning to the constitution”, “memorializing the Confederacy”, etc. I don’t see a important distinction between an explicit statement and dog-whistle so thinly veiled that everyone knows what it stands for.
