Current events that liberals will not like

[Legion]

It appears that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is having a long overdue comeuppance. Housed in what’s nicknamed the “poverty palace,” the SPLC has an endowment exceeding $500 million, including $120 million in offshore accounts.

Seven years ago, inspired by SPLC’s “hate map,” a gunman walked into the Family Research Council (FRC) in Washington, intending to massacre the staff and then stuff Chick-fil-A sandwiches in their faces.

FRC is among many organizations targeted by the SPLC. During the 1990s, FRC helped draft the Defense of Marriage Act and defended the rights of the military and the Boy Scouts to resist the homosexual agenda . Over the years, FRC has produced a mountain of meta-research papers that debunk the many spurious studies fed to the liberal media by the LGBTQ activist movement.

It was more than enough to get FRC placed on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map,” a profoundly defamatory instrument that inspired Floyd Lee Corkins II to try to commit mass murder seven years ago.

The young gay activist would have succeeded and perhaps gone onto other targets on his list if not for the heroics of building manager Leo Johnson, who was shot in the arm but managed to disarm Corkins and wrestle him to the ground.

Corkins pleaded guilty to three felonies, including an act of terrorism, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He told the FBI that the SPLC’s “hate map” led him to FRC’s door.

In an April 4 Wall Street Journal article, “We Were Smeared by the SPLC,” attorney Kristen Waggoner relates how the “hate” designation is anything but harmless. She saw “the word ‘HATE’ plastered in red letters on a photo of my face” on a Google image-search. “Days after I argued the Masterpiece Cakeshop case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, I found the window of my car shot out."

The SPLC is now ensnared in a scandal that has cost the group its leadership and, it is hoped, its misplaced credibility with law enforcement agencies and corporations.

In March, two groups of employees wrote letters to SPLC leadership, warning them that “allegations of mistreatment, sexual harassment, gender discrimination and racism threaten the moral authority of this organization and our integrity along with it,” and that the SPLC leaders were complicit “in decades of racial discrimination, gender discrimination, and sexual harassment and/or assault.”

Congress has now requested an Internal Revenue Service investigation into the tax-exempt status of the SPLC, which is described as a “racist and sexist slush fund devoted to defamation.”

The action came on the heels of the firing of SPLC co-founder Morris Dees for misconduct and the resignation of Richard Cohen, who had been SPLC’s president since 2003.

Officials at the U.S. Education Department are requiring the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center medical school to cease factoring race into admissions decisions, putting other institutions of higher education on notice that their continued use of affirmative action policies will draw federal scrutiny.

The mandate came in a deal the medical school struck with the Education Department in February, concluding a 14-year federal investigation into the university’s use of affirmative action.

The Texas Tech agreement marks the first time the Trump administration has asked a school to curtail its affirmative-action practices, and signals the administration’s desire to limit the extent to which universities can factor race into admissions. In the agreement, the administration suggested the medical school consider race-neutral factors to achieve its diversity goals, such as recruiting students from low-income areas and favoring bilingual or first-generation college students.

Analysts expect the Trump administration will apply its strict understanding of the law on race-based admissions elsewhere.

The administration is pursuing civil rights investigations into Harvard and Yale universities’ affirmative action practices over their treatment of Asian-American applicants.

“This shows the Trump administration is taking seriously its responsibility to enforce civil rights in a way that protects all Americans,” said Roger Clegg, general counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity.
