Military Diversity Board Proposes Ban on 'Hate Group Activity,' Citing SPLC

Joe Biden may not yet be president, but it seems the military may already be considering a policy banning servicemembers from activities sponsored by conservative and Christian organizations. Last week, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller acted on a report from the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Diversity and Inclusion Board. Among other things, the board recommended that official policy “prohibit extremist or hate group activity,” citing the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on the influence of “hate groups” in the military.

This should ring alarm bells for conservatives familiar with the SPLC’s antics.

The Diversity and Inclusion Board’s report recommended the DoD “prohibit extremist or hate group activity.” To that end, Miller directed the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to “review current policy, laws, and regulations concerning active participation by Service members in extremist or hate group activity and develop a report, with recommendations, concerning initiatives to more effectively prohibit extremist or hate group activity.”

The undersecretary will issue the report by March 31, 2021, for review by June 30. Neither Miller’s order nor the board’s report laid out a definition of the term “hate group,” although both documents noted the interagency working group on countering violent extremism. Most worrisome, the board’s report cites the SPLC and Heidi Beirich, a former SPLC staffer who co-founded the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism.

“Further research is needed to adequately address the ways in which extremist ideologies and organizations infiltrate the military and DoD civilian communities,” the report states, citing SPLC testimony about white supremacy in the military.

I suggest we need investigations into how SPLC and the Democratic Party have "infiltrate" the military.

SPLC is itself a hate group, defaming entirely legitimate organizations - and having to pay up in libel suits that get filed against them for doing so.

It makes sense to keep haters away but it’s the classification that’s the problem.

It’s almost like the one thing they fear is a REAL right wing.

To SPLC, membership in Antifa, BLM, etc will be classified as “First Amendment protected civil rights activity”, while posting to FreeRepublic will be a hate crime.

The SPLC is indeed a hate group. Had it not been for the brave actions of a security person, FRC personnel would have been murdered due to their incitement.

I could almost guarantee none of our enemies have this.

It would be a real problem if you are facing a “brutally meritocratic” adversary.
