VICTIM OF THE SPLC

 

I have been calling the ludicrously misnamed Southern Poverty Law Center a wealthy left-wing hate cult. The organization now serves as a handmaiden to forces of the left as they seek to stigmatize honorable conservatives and confine our public discourse to approved channels. Most recently, Minnesota Senator Al Franken showed how it’s done in his crude McCarthyite assault on Notre Dame Law Professor Amy Barrett in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on her nomination to the Seventh Circuit last week.

I didn’t realize that I was following in the footsteps of former Vanderbilt political science professor Carol Swain, who called the SPLC’s number in a post she wrote about it for the Huffington Post in September 2009. Professor Swain concluded the post: “Rather than monitoring hate groups, the Southern Poverty Law Center has become one.”

This could not stand. In today’s Wall Street Journal Professor Swain tells the rest of the story:

The SPLC’s retaliation was vicious and effective. On Oct. 17, 2009, my photo appeared on the front page of my local newspaper, the Tennessean, with the headline “ Carol Swain is an apologist for white supremacists.”

Being targeted by the SPLC has had a lasting impact on my life and career. Offers from other universities ended and speaking opportunities declined. Once you’ve been smeared in this way, mainstream news outlets are less likely to cite you as an expert of any kind.

It's a form of English spoken mainly in Africa, it is also used by what we would consider hardcore reggae fans on this side of the world.

DOD DROPS SPLC FROM EXTREMISM TRAINING MATERIALS

 

The Daily Caller reports that the Department of Defense has officially severed all ties to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The DOD’s Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity, which teaches about racial, gender and religious equality and “pluralism,” had been using SPLC material.

 

This is good news, though it’s shocking that the DOD has been relying to any degree on the SPLC until now. The SPLC is a powerful left-wing interest group that tags as “hate groups” those with whom it strongly disagrees about matters of public policy. Its abuse of that appellation and the term “extremist” has attained an alarming degree of acceptance.

Country music festivals need to be added to this list

 

Only if the gathering consists of 3 or more white people.

Wrong. Any black person at a country music festival is an Uncle Tom and race-traitor, so is fair game.

Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria had an important message for U.S. Air Force Academy cadets at a moment of crisis.

 

Five black cadet candidates at the academy’s preparatory school in Colorado Springs had found racial slurs written on the message boards on their doors.

 

Silveria, who took over as the school’s superintendent in August, urged cadets to reach for their phones.

 

“I want you to videotape this so you have it, so you can use it — so that we all have the moral courage together,” he said, surrounded by 1,500 of the academy’s faculty, administrators and athletic coaches.

 

“If you can’t treat someone with dignity and respect, get out.”

Police services and schools up here used Enron policy manuals for training in ethics and fairness years after the scandal broke.

SPLC Removes Stonewall Elementary School From 'Turmoil and Bloodshed' Confederate Monument Map

https://pjmedia.com/trending/splc-removes-stonewall-elementary-school-from-turmoil-and-bloodshed-confederate-monument-list/

 

SPLC-Confederate-Map.sized-770x415xc.png

 

SPLC website screenshot, a map listing "Confederate monuments," including elementary and middle schools.

 

 

On Tuesday, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a group whose "hate" labeling has inspired at least one terrorist attack, admitted fault and removed Stonewall Elementary School in Lexington, Ky. from its list of monuments to Confederate generals. That list had included 109 public schools, warning of "turmoil and bloodshed" unless all Confederate monuments — including schools and military bases — were taken down. As it turns out, Stonewall Elementary was not named after Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, but after a stone wall. Go figure. This is almost as bad as Robert Lee...

It wasn't Stonewall as in the bar of the first gay stand against the police?


Didn't the US just recently get rid of every creek, mountain, State park, state capital with the "n"-word in the name?

Update.

 

But on Tuesday, the school made a jolting announcement. The person responsible for the racist messages, the academy said, was, in fact, one of the cadet candidates who reported being targeted by them.
