The Thomas More Law Center with the Family Research Council (FRC) and 14 other organizations announced yesterday the submission of a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel requesting that the Department of Defense (DOD) ensure that future training materials do not rely on information from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) or any other organization that engages in groundless and highly pejorative mischaracterizations of long-standing Christian organizations for their own political purposes.
The request comes after several training incidents in which Army instructors may have relied on anti-Christian materials produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that was linked to domestic terrorism in federal court in February, 2013.
Lt. General Jerry Boykin (retired), Family Research Council's executive vice president, made the following comments:
"In recent months, Army instructors have begun relying on the Southern Poverty Law Center, an anti-Christian group linked to domestic terrorism, as a source for its briefings. While we are encouraged that the Army Secretary has issued an order ceasing such briefings, we remain concerned that individual installation briefings may continue to draw upon SPLC materials.
"We are asking Secretary Hagel to issue clear guidance to the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute and instructing installations to stop relying on SPLC and other non-governmental sources as approved resources for equal opportunity training or other purposes.
"We will continue to monitor this situation and remain in contact with the Department of Defense to ensure that instructors carry out their role to train our troops to defend our freedom, and not push the Southern Poverty Law Center's anti-Christian agenda," concluded Boykin.

More BO administration destruction and undermining of the military. We will be lucky to have anything left when this gang of Left-wing extremist haters finally leaves the White House.
And then if there is anything left, the real problem will be extracting all the extremist Leftists left behind, embedded in the system.
And to this dopey will say so what.
That “Southern Poverty group” has long been a leftist cancer on this nation, and the fact that it has wormed its way into the US Military tells us plenty about big government and its cronyism. The left is tearing this country apart, brick by brick.
Yes, it is clear to all that Obozo intended from the beginning to destroy the US. Not just, but including the military.
Now the question? As Valorie Jarrett described the 2nd term of Obama as being payback time, what will follow this?
Will the voters in the US remember their abuse of power? If we regain control of government, will be pursue those who openly subverted the Constitution and the Rule of Law?
Look at the example of Egypt and their recent overthrow of terrorists taking control of their country with support of BHO to empower the MB. The Egyptians were smart enough to realize they made a mistake and corrected it.
I’m afraid we would have to close every College and University for a generation in order to begin to get the country back on track. As nice as that prospect sounds(and it would save tons of Government money) it is only a pipe dream. Obama is only the most visible result of the slide leftward begun in the 1960’s.
Agree.
But all universities are not the same. Some much worse than others.
We the People either regain control, or the system will be collapsed soon.
