June 6 (UPI) -- The Southern Poverty Law Center released a report Tuesday saying hate groups are on the rise and targeting public education through book bans and protests, as the center labeled 12 right-wing parents rights groups extremist.
The report, titled "Year in Hate & Extremism," documents 1,225 active "extremist hate groups which are stripping communities of their rights" through public demonstrations, flyers and media attention.
"Taking on the most hateful factions in our country is critical to dismantling white supremacy and advancing the civil rights of all people," Margaret Huang, president and chief executive officer of the Southern Poverty Law Center, said in a statement.
"We are exposing a concerted effort by hate groups and extremist actors to terrorize communities and gain control of public institutions by any means necessary," Huang said.
"These groups are descending on Main Street America and disrupting people's daily lives, too often with dire consequences for communities of color, Jewish people and the LGBTQ+ community," Huang added.
Groups mobilizing at public schools, which SPLC called "extremist," were singled out. Specifically the report documented 12 anti-student inclusion groups, which it said have attacked public education, banned books and removed curriculum focused on race, discrimination and LGBTQ+ identities.
"Hate and anti-government extremist groups are intent on staging public spectacles of hatred that harass, threaten and violently harm Black, Brown, Asian, Jewish, LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities," Susan Corke, director of the SPLC's Intelligence Project, said in a statement.
"Schools, synagogues and LGBTQ+ businesses -- venues that have traditionally been safe spaces for our children, the Jewish community and LGBTQ+ people -- are now on the frontlines of hatred and violence," Corke added.

The Southern Poverty Law Center Is a violent terrorist organization that assaults me every day.
It's porn.
Of course they do!
badge of honor
And also...just who anointed them to be the final arbiter of right and wrong??
Americans aren’t worried about anti-government “extremists”.
It’s the pro-government extremists which are a danger to America.
Names and phone numbers, please. Time for some firm, yet polite push back.
See the link below from a thread at FR from just a couple days ago. SPLC might want to back off a bit from declaring everyone who disagrees with the far left a right-wing white supremacist “hate” group.

“COMPROMISED: SPLC Whistleblower’s History Makes Groundbreaking Defamation Case Even Stronger”
Joseph J Levin Jr is a founder of SPLC but Wiki has nothing on him.
Government is a necessary evil and the Constitution is designed to rein it in.
But they have ignored that thus we are in a situation where being opposed to the government is considered a bad thing.
Limited government is NOT.
It is a badge of honor to be called an extremist by the SPLC.
SPLC
Some Pompous Loser Cretins
“The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”
The FBI, Justice Department, and the SPLC are revolutionaries down for the struggle.
Sounds like they're achieving their goals through peaceful and legal means. Isn't that the way it's supposed to work in this country? Contrast that with BLM and Antifa.
Since when was anti-government a bad thing?
The SPLC is a hate group. They called our friend Terry Anderson a racist.

High praise, indeed.
The only thing the SPLC is good for is cleaning toilets and emptying bed pans. Everything else is way above them.
