Parents’ rights groups are the newest addition to Southern Poverty Law Center’s ‘Hate and Extremism’ report

SPLC added parental organizations like Moms for Liberty to its new ‘Hate and Extremism’ report

A new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) lists some parents’ rights organizations as “hate and anti-government groups” akin to neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.

With the release of their “Year In Hate and Extremism 2022” report on Tuesday, SPLC appeared to change their infamous “Hate Map” to now be a map of “hate and antigovernment groups.” After counting 733 “hate groups” in 2021, the number increased to 1225 “hate and antigovernment extremist groups” in the 2022 report, many of which were focused on education.

According to the new SPLC report, schools “have been on the receiving end of ramped-up and coordinated hard-right attacks.” After being “spurred by the right-wing backlash to COVID-19 public safety measures,” parental rights groups appeared to 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. 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.’ The group hijacks meetings, preventing officials and parents from conducting their normal proceedings,” the report read.
