The Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center, a nationally known nonprofit that monitors hate organizations, said Thursday it had fired co-founder Morris Dees, who once won a lawsuit that bankrupted a leading Ku Klux Klan group.

A statement by Richard Cohen, the president of the law center, said Dees' employment had been terminated, but it did not give a specific reason.

"As a civil rights organization, the SPLC is committed to ensuring that the conduct of our staff reflects the mission of the organization and the values we hope to instill in the world. When one of our own fails to meet those standards, no matter his or her role in the organization, we take it seriously and must take appropriate action," it said.

Maybe Dees strayed off the liberal plantation.

...nationally known nonprofit...


For the record, “nonprofit” has nothing to do with ethics. It is simply a tax term.

If there was no such thing as the IRS, there would be no such thing as a “nonprofit”.

Sears, K-Mart, Payless Shoe Source, Circuit City might disagree.................

A personnel matter. Hmmm...

Catfight between libtards? Or did an audit find that a lot of money had moved overseas and disappeared?

They mention “The conduct of our staff” and “..when one of our own fails to meet those standards...”, so probably pedophilia or #MeToo.

Irony. The SPLC targets Hate Groups. Yet they are the worst of all hate groups.

Like Antifa is supposed to be anti-fascist. Yet they are the worst fascists in America.

The SPLC is one of the most vicious hate organization in American history. They monitor & smear patriotic organizations with the support of the extreme Left in media & academia.

Civil rights organization announces dismissal of founder

"....Reached by telephone, Dees said the matter involved a personnel issue. He said the Southern Poverty Law Center is a wonderful organization, and he wishes it luck....."

This is either about sex or money or both. I don't think this is the last we have heard on this.

They are a liberal activist group that should not be a non-profit.
