The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a controversial watchdog of extremist groups. It has been criticized for its financial practices and for characterizing non-violent conventional conservative organizations as equivalent to violent extremists.

SPLC was co-founded in 1971 by Morris Dees, a lawyer and direct marketing expert and fellow Alabama attorney, Joseph Levin, Jr. 1 They appointed civil rights activist Julian Bond as SPLC’s first president. In its first two decades, the SPLC won high-profile civil rights cases and filed lawsuits credited with breaking the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC combined its legal successes with Dees’ direct mail marketing expertise to raise millions of dollars. In later years, the SPLC leveraged its influence to collect and create widely-circulated reports about “hate group” activity around the country.

Dees was fired from his position as SPLC chief trial counsel in March 2019 for unspecific conduct violations. 2 On April 2, 2019, the SPLC announced that attorney Karen Baynes-Dunning would replace Cohen as interim president. 3

Since its victories over the Klan in the 1980s, the SPLC has been widely criticized by both right-of-center and left-of-center observers for its excessive fundraising and controversial methodologies. SPLC’s labeling of political opponents as has resulted in mainstream conservative individuals and groups, as well as anti-extremist Muslims, being conflated with neo-Nazis, the KKK, and other actual extremist elements. The SPLC uses its former credibility to smear its political foes; despite this, SPLC is cited by left-leaning mainstream media outlets as a credible source for information about the mainstream right, to widespread criticism. 4

Mainstream technology companies such as Google and Amazon have enlisted SPLC to help compile, track, and vet organizations based on alleged extremist activity. For a short time, charity aggregator Guidestar used SPLC’s hate group listings to apply so-called warning labels on 46 nonprofit organizations, but later removed the labels amid a heavy public backlash against its reliance on SPLC.

In 2012, Floyd Lee Corkins attacked the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the social conservative advocacy group Family Research Council (FRC). In his guilty plea agreement, Corkins claimed the SPLC’s labeling of FRC as a hate group for its opposition to same-sex marriage as the reason he singled out FRC. 5

Face to Face: SPLC President Margaret Huang strengthens ties with Asian American journalists at informal D.C. gathering

By Rhonda Sonnenberg | August 26, 2022

As Huang noted, the AAPI population is the fastest-growing in the nation.Huang herself is the daughter of a Chinese immigrant fatherand a white mother whose family has been in the U.S. for many generations.

Between 2000 and 2019, this demographic grew 81%, significantly more than the 70% increase among the Latinx community, according to the Pew Research Center. In the 2020 presidential election, voting among Asian Americans rose from just under 50% in 2016 to almost 60% in 2020. That was the second-highest percentage increase for any racial or ethnic group in the country, according to an AAPI Data blog, surpassed only by Pacific Islander Americans, who voted in numbers 14% higher – rising from about 41% in 2016 to 56% in 2020.

AAJA journalists in attendance at the event represented news outlets including The Washington Post, Politico, Foreign Policy News, The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and AARP podcast.

In late June, Huang and members of the SPLC’s executive leadership team welcomed some of the country’s most prominent journalists – all members of the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) – at an intimate gathering in Washington, D.C.

The event gave the SPLC an opportunity to showcase its deep research and programmatic expertise, which can inform the journalists’ stories while at the same time extending the SPLC’s public reach.

“We want to support AAPI [Asian American Pacific Islander] journalists, who bring a unique and valuable perspective to news,” Huang said. “The idea is that we want them to turn to us when they need a quote or research to enrich their stories. [A stronger relationship] gives us a chance to reach people who may listen to an AAJA reporter when they may not listen ordinarily. We all need to be paying attention to this community because of recent demographic shifts.”

AAPI population growing

As Huang noted, the AAPI population is the fastest-growing in the nation. Huang herself is the daughter of a Chinese immigrant father and a white mother whose family has been in the U.S. for many generations.

Between 2000 and 2019, this demographic grew 81%, significantly more than the 70% increase among the Latinx community, according to the Pew Research Center. In the 2020 presidential election, voting among Asian Americans rose from just under 50% in 2016 to almost 60% in 2020. That was the second-highest percentage increase for any racial or ethnic group in the country, according to an AAPI Data blog, surpassed only by Pacific Islander Americans, who voted in numbers 14% higher – rising from about 41% in 2016 to 56% in 2020.

AAJA journalists in attendance at the event represented news outlets including The Washington Post, Politico, Foreign Policy News, The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and AARP podcast.

Huang noted that education and political reporters she spoke with already use SPLC resources such as Learning for Justice’s AAPI-tolerant curricula to educate audiences on hate, extremist state legislative attacks on inclusive education – a bogeyman conservatives refer to as “critical race theory” – and the Intelligence Project’s Hatewatch, which profiles and tracks far-right extremist groups and leaders.

“Attacks on [so-called] critical race theory are attacks on all American history,” Huang said. “The AAJA is one of the most active and impactful groups of journalists in the country. They have strong respect from other journalists, and they are very good at pushing out information less well known by other journalists.”

As the guests and their hosts mingled, they discussed serious topics like the current attack on voting rights, the coming midterm congressional elections, and criminal justice reform. Huang and SPLC representatives answered questions about the journalists’ portfolios and how the organization can help them with their research.

Nicole Dungca, an investigative reporter for The Washington Post, said the event was especially welcome after being cut off from other journalists since 2020.

“Coming out of COVID, it’s been hard to meet people in person,” Dungca said. “It was good to meet other AAJA members and be able to connect the two organizations. The SPLC and the AAJA both share a concern for misinformation, so we want to check misinformation about the AAPI community.

“I really just wanted to connect, to talk to people who could help in the work we do,” she said. “The event provided a space for journalists to be able to meet Margaret and other potential sources for them and for us. Margaret discussed the direction the SPLC is moving in, such as expanding into voting rights, [a topic] that is important now and that our members will be focused on in the coming election. I know that our members appreciated hearing from Margaret what resources the SPLC has.”

For Politico reporter Nicholas Wu, the event provided information in an article quoting Michael Lieberman, the SPLC’s senior policy counsel on hate and extremism, about how the SPLC is providing testimony and research to the Jan. 6 committee.

SPLC Media Director Araba Dowell said the journalists expressed strong interest in the organization’s efforts to combat white nationalist narratives because their association also prioritizes this work.

“They also noted that they recognized how white supremacists are at the center of pushing division between the Asian community and Black people – and how they have to be vigilant and conscientious of this, even in the newsroom,” Dowell said. “They also were curious about how we tracked our impact and defined success – from a data and analytics standpoint. And, finally, they identified opportunities in which we can work together in the future, such as their AAJA Studio.

Type:

Educational Project of the SPLC

Executive Director:

Jalaya Liles Dunn

Learning for Justice is a project and educational arm of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), 1 a left-of-center watchdog criticized for falsely accusing mainstream right-leaning and center-right organizations of being far-right, racist, and violent extremists. 2 Learning for Justice produces educational articles, guides, films, webinars and workshops to advance the SPLC’s mission and objectives for K-12 educators. 3

Background

Learning for Justice was founded in 1991 by the SPLC, originally under the name Teaching for Tolerance, 4 to produce free educational materials to advance its parent organization’s mission. 5 The organization’s flagship magazine is sent to 450,000 educators twice annually. 6

Perspectives for a Diverse America

One of the notable educational modules produced by Learning for Justice is Perspectives for a Diverse America. 7 The module falls under the organization’s “anti-bias” curriculum, a catch-all term used by Learning for Justice to refer to an outlook that seeks to explain and analyze all societal problems through a racial lens and emphasizes the need for solutions that privilege some groups over others along racial lines. 8

LGBT Modules

In addition to educational content focused on race and gender, Learning for Justice produces LGBT educational content. 9 In an article publicizing the LGBT modules for K-12 educators, Learning for Justice claims that “[a]cross the United States, and especially in the South, politicians [are] intent on disenfranchising racially and culturally diverse communities and maintaining inequitable power structures.” 10 In an interview with a student whose school participated in a Learning for Justice program, the student repeated revisionist history taught in the module, praising the program and stating, “That [LGBT] history isn’t taught anywhere. Like, the guy who basically won World War II for us was a gay man. We never discussed that; nobody ever said his name.” 11

Learning for Justice opposes laws that seek to give parents a voice in what teachers can use as source material for lesson plans on issues related to race and gender and have opposed laws that seek to ensure that parents, and not teachers, decide what their children should learn in relation to issues of race and gender. 12

Learning for Justice Magazine

Learning for Justice produces a bi-annual magazine. 13 The magazine touches on various issues relating to teaching race and gender in social science courses and vehemently opposes laws that seek to limit critical race theory and allow parental scrutiny of gender-issues curriculums.

Leadership

Jalaya Liles Dunn is the director of Learning for Justice. 14 Prior to joining the organization, Liles Dunn was the national director of the CDF Freedom Schools program for the left-of-center Children’s Defense Fund. 15
