SPLC names 12 parent’s rights orgs as ‘anti-government extremist groups’

The conservative parental rights group Moms for Liberty has now been labeled as an "extremist group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC is notorious for going after conservative organizations and listing them as hate groups. Now, the group is targeting moms who are concerned about their children's education. Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice recently testified before Congress and said, "We do not co-parent with the government." This is considered an "extremist" viewpoint by those on the left.

The FBI stated in February that “radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology” is a national threat. They based this assessment on smears from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC continues its vehement attacks on traditional Christian values. It has now “named 12 parents’ rights organizations, including the incredibly effective Moms For Liberty, as ‘anti-government extremist groups’ in its 2022 ‘hate and extremism’ report.”

The SPLC, along with other far-Left groups, continues to target Judeo-Christian traditions, beliefs and practices, which leads to intensifying social persecution.

“After SPLC Quietly Admits Subjectivity, Corporate Media Amplify Baseless Smears Against Parents,” by Jordan Boyd, The Federalist, June 7, 3023:

The Southern Poverty Law Center continued its smear campaign against conservative groups this week when it named 12 parents’ rights organizations, including the incredibly effective Moms For Liberty, as “anti-government extremist groups” in its 2022 “hate and extremism” report.

Over the last two years, the Biden administration, with the help of the National School Boards Association, used manufactured reasoning to target concerned parents as potential “terrorists.” For his participation in the intimidation campaign, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland was hauled in front of Congress where he not only denied that the Department of Justice was weaponized against Americans for political reasons but also indicated he would keep targeting parents.

The SPLC continued the Biden regime’s mission by sullying the dozen grassroots groups as “reactionary anti-student inclusion” organizations that promote “anti-LGBTQ, racist and nationalist themes.”

“Groups like Moms for Liberty are a new battlefront vs inclusivity in schools, but are rooted in age-old white supremacy,” SPLC’s Intelligence Project Director Susan Corke tweeted on Tuesday.

“Name-calling parents who want to be a part of their child’s education as ‘hate groups’ or ‘bigoted’ just further exposes what this battle is all about: Who fundamentally gets to decide what is taught to our kids in school – parents or government employees? We believe that parental rights do not stop at the classroom door and no amount of hate from groups like this is going to stop that,” Moms for Liberty co-founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich told Fox News after the report’s release….

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been laying low for the last few years after a horrific series of scandals involving the founder, Morris Dees. Dees was apparently something of a tyrant, and allegations of sexual harassment and racial discrimination roiled the organization. The irony of a group purporting to be at war with “racist” groups being accused of racism was lost on the left as the cone of silence descended over the story.

The infamous SPLC ‘Hate Map” showing where all the groups they claim are “hate groups” are headquartered was a little late this year. The Center for Immigration Studies was still there, along with other conservative groups like Alliance Defending Freedom, Center for Security Policy, and Family Research Council. ADF’s “hate crime” was in defending businesses that exercise religious freedom by not using their talents to help gay couples get married.

Needless to say, there isn’t much “hate” coming from these groups — except perhaps for the SPLC and their efforts to fundraise off their exaggerated war on “hate.”

So with a need for more targets to fundraise against, the SPLC decided to go after moms. The group Moms For Liberty and other parental rights groups have been put on the SPLC’s “hate group” list. If you wish for a more tangible way to express your gratitude to SPLC for their fine work in defending America from “ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night,” you may donate here.

“These groups were, in part, spurred by the right-wing backlash to COVID-19 public safety measures in schools,” the SPLC report says. “But they have grown into an anti-student inclusion movement that targets any inclusive curriculum that contains discussions of race, discrimination and LGBTQ identities.”

“At the forefront of this mobilization is Moms for Liberty, a Florida-based group with vast connections to the GOP that this year the SPLC designated as an extremist group,” the report notes. “They can be spotted at school board meetings across the country wearing shirts and carrying signs that declare, ‘We do NOT CO-PARENT with the GOVERNMENT.’”

Omigod SPLC. Save us! We’re not worthy!

Daily Signal:

The SPLC report does not once mention the Left’s aggressive promotion of sexualized material for children in schools and at other venues. It does not mention the “Drag Queen Story Hour” movement or the fact that many of the books which parents demand removed from school libraries include pornographic content. It does not mention how many on the Left champion the idea that children should be able to identify with a gender opposite their biological sex, hide that identity from their parents, and even obtain life-altering drugs without parental consent. Instead, it acts as though the parental rights movement emerged in a vacuum, or worse, is motivated by hatred.

“Hate and antigovernment groups make up the extreme edge of America’s hard right, an inherently antidemocratic movement that rejects pluralism and equity,” the SPLC report states. “The movement instead strives to build a society dominated by hierarchy, where people whom far rightists deem lesser or threatening—women, Black and Brown people, LGBTQ people, non-Christians and others—are socially and politically subjugated”

Is anyone dumb enough to believe that? To place Moms For Liberty in the same class as the Klu Klux Klan is laughably absurd, as former PJ Media editor Tyler O’Neil points out.

SPLC has seen, for the first time, a defamation lawsuit against it reach the discovery stage. They picked on a small immigration organization, declaring the Dustin Inman Society a hate group. But the SPLC was sloppy, and a judge ruled the suit could continue through discovery. As Mark Krikorian points out, this is a huge deal.

NRO:

No one has ever gotten a look at SPLC’s internal machinations, and staff communications and other files regarding the plaintiffs could well turn over rocks that SPLC would prefer to keep in place.

But discovery can be expensive — masses of emails and other documents to go through, opposing counsel obstructing at every turn — I shudder to think of the cost.

The SPLC has lost a lot of credibility. But they remain a radical left icon and will continue to use exaggeration and hysteria to drum up funds for their efforts.

BREAKING: RADICALIZED SPLC BLAMES KENOSHA VIOLENCE ON TRUMP AND POLICE; PRAISES BLM AND ANTIFA

The Southern Poverty Law Center asserts that President Trump, law enforcement and Kyle Rittenhouse are to blame for the violence that took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin last month. This, despite the fact that violence has greatly diminished since the President sent the National Guard to the embattled town. By contrast, the SPLC spoke favorably of Antifa and group called “Movement for Black Lives,” a communist-tied coalition deeply involved in the activism across the country.

The SPLC doubled down on the ridiculous, demonstrably false premise that black Americans are being slaughtered by police officers, and that the motivation is racism. Instead, the SPLC blames “far right actors” for violence such as Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old teenager who by all accounts defended himself during the chaos, resulting in the death of two Antifa rioters Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber.

The SPLC also laughably claimed that there should be “a de-escalation of law enforcement tactics nationwide” in order to stop violence.

SPLC on Antifa and the Communist-Tied ‘Movement for Black Lives‘

The SPLC repeatedly cited an organization responsible for much of the activism in America. The SPLC is trying to distance the “coalition group” named the “Movement for Black Lives” from the violence, claiming that the “random destruction, opportunistic theft and righteous anger at police violence” are “separate and distinct from the Movement for Black Lives.”

But research from author and filmmaker Trevor Loudon contradicts the narrative that the Movement for Black Lives is peaceful. According to his research, the group is infested with communists who want to destroy America.

The SPLC engages in mental gymnastics over Antifa, saying that there is “a far-right preoccupation” over their violent tactics. The SPLC downplayed Antifa’s clear involvement in the rioting over the past few months, stating that “the threat of antifa has been a favorite stalking horse of white nationalist groups for years.”

No More Violence in Kenosha

Despite the SPLC’s assertions that law enforcement is somehow responsible for riots across America, the violence in Kenosha has decreased immeasurably since August 26th, when President Donald Trump sent in the National Guard after hard left Governor Tony Evers finally listened to the pleas of the citizens.

In fact, the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department posted a Media Release on Thursday which stated in part:

“As of today September 3rd, 2020 Kenosha County has gone 8 days and nights with relatively peaceful activity.”

What stopped the violence if not the reinforcements sent by President Trump?

The Southern Poverty Law Center despite being highly partisan, are still cited regularly by the left-wing media, are used to deplatform conservative groups they deem to be hateful, and are actively indoctrinating children.
