Southern Poverty Law Center Fires 25% of Staff

A good start.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a hateful scam, has been in freefall ever since it purged its founder, who originated the scam. Say what you will about Morris Dees (and as a guy whom the SPLC named as a hate group of one, I’ve had lots to say over the years), but he was a good self-promoter. Post-Dees, the SPLC has become a generic albeit somewhat more professional leftist group caught in its own cancel culture spiral.

The SPLC has been battling its own union which in typical nonprofit fashion is even worse than the group (it endorsed Islamic terror) and has now reportedly cut a quarter of its staff. That’s bigger than it sounds because that’s only about 60 people.

That may take it down to around 400.

The SPLC union claims that SPLC shouldn’t be firing anyone when it has nearly a billion in reserves. I say they should fire everyone and do something useful for a change. Like, sell hot dogs.

Currently, the SPLC has a report attacking pro-life groups and is promoting LGBTQ education in the South.

This is a long way from Morris Dees pretending to be Jewish and sending envelopes with Klansmen on them to old ladies asking for money.

The SPLC is another generic leftist group that’s trying to do everything. It really needs to get back to basics and focus on fighting me.
