The American Bar Association claims on their website that all of us have "implicit biases."
I asked their President what groups she has implicit biases against and if she'd like to reflect on them.

Microsoft to stop relying on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” to filter out nonprofits
Microsoft has stopped systematically excluding conservative nonprofits from its corporate generosity program, the Daily Signal has learned.
The tech giant—the fourth-largest company in the world by market capitalization—has directed its corporate generosity platform, Benevity, to stop relying on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” to filter out nonprofits. Critics say the SPLC unfairly condemns mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits by putting them on this map with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC maintains that these nonprofits vilify people typically for their immutable characteristics.
“Microsoft’s decision is a major victory against ideological blacklisting in employee gift-matching programs and an important win for conservative and religious organizations,” Tim Schwarzenberger, director of corporate engagement at Inspire Investing, told the Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday.
According to a report exclusively provided first to the Daily Signal, Microsoft disclosed the move away from the SPLC in response to a shareholder proposal.
Inspire Investing, a Christian financial adviser that focuses on “Biblically Responsible Investing,” had filed a shareholder proposal asking Microsoft to evaluate the risks associated with excluding religious organizations from its employee gift-matching program and the use of third-party ideological screening.
“During engagement, Microsoft confirmed that it had removed the SPLC filter from its Benevity platform in late 2025,” the report states. “As a result, otherwise eligible IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) organizations are no longer subject to that additional ideological screening within Microsoft’s employee gift-matching program.”
The SPLC publishes a “hate map” that critics say conflates mainstream conservative and Christian organizations with genuinely extremist groups. Critics note the map includes Moms for Liberty, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Focus on the Family.
In 2012, a since-convicted terrorist told the FBI he used the SPLC’s map to target the Family Research Council in an attempted mass shooting. The SPLC condemned the attack but kept the council on the map.
FBI Director Kash Patel officially cut the bureau’s ties with the SPLC following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In April, a federal grand jury indicted the SPLC for wire fraud and bank fraud for allegedly funneling money to Klan members, propping up the hate threat in order to raise money by claiming to oppose it. The SPLC says the payments involved informants identifying threats, but prosecutors dispute that claim.
1792 Exchange, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing ideological balance back to public companies, and Alliance Defending Freedom called on corporate generosity platforms to stop using the SPLC.
The Daily Signal reached out to the SPLC for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
Corporate generosity platforms such as Benevity connect employers to a host of nonprofits. Benevity connects “nearly 1,000 enterprise companies” to a network of 513,000 nonprofits. Benevity acknowledged in 2021 that it uses the SPLC to vet almost “2 million nonprofits.”
Benevity maintains that the SPLC “hate map” is an optional filter, not a default setting.
Thanks to shareholder activism from 1792 Exchange, Bowyer Research, The Heritage Foundation, and others, a growing list of companies has directed Benevity to stop using the SPLC. The list includes American Express, AT&T, Mastercard, McDonald’s, Nvidia, and Salesforce.
Companies use other corporate generosity programs as well and have directed them to stop using the SPLC list.
DoorDash directed the platform Deed to stop using the SPLC for this purpose. Verizon directed CyberGrants, another such platform, to stop using the SPLC for its employee giving.
The Daily Signal reached out to Benevity for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
Schwarzenberger, the Inspire Investing director, told the Daily Signal that Microsoft’s decision “demonstrates that even one of the world’s largest companies can administer its employee gift-matching program using objective charitable standards without relying on additional ideological screening imposed by outside advocacy organizations.”
He also noted that Microsoft is “part of a broader trend we’ve seen across corporate America as companies reevaluate employee gift matching, strengthen charitable neutrality, and give employees greater freedom to support lawful IRS-recognized charities consistent with their convictions.”

House approves bill restricting lawmakers’ ability to purchase and sell stocks
Democrats said the bill was “corrupted” with the add-on of a provision from the controversial SAVE America Act.
The House passed a bill Wednesday that would restrict the ability of members of Congress and their families to buy and sell stocks, splitting Democrats over concerns that the language didn’t go far enough.
The Stop Insider Trading Act, the first congressional stock trading ban bill that has received a House floor vote, passed 232-198, with 13 Democrats supporting the legislation.
The legislation had only two Democratic co-sponsors, out of 93 total lawmakers that signed on to the bill. A separate bill that restricted congressional stock trading even further by requiring members and their families to divest from current individually held stock had more significant bipartisan support, but will not be put on the House floor.
Most Democrats say the measure that passed doesn’t go far enough, because it does not include a sell-back requirement.
Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Wis.), the lead sponsor of the bill, said Wednesday ahead of the vote that “it’s time we ban members of Congress from being able to buy individual companies’ shares of stock. Doing so removes even the appearance of impropriety.”
Steil also said the roll-call vote allows every American to know where their member stands on congressional stock trading.
However, a large number of Democrats may have been deterred from supporting the bill after a voter ID requirement was added ahead of the vote. The added provision was part of the SAVE America Act, a controversial bill heavily supported by President Donald Trump that would mandate proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and would impose strict photo ID requirements.
Rep. Joseph Morelle (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, called the voter ID provision a “poison pill.”
“Republicans have corrupted their so-called stock trading bill with a decaying piece of the SAVE American Act corpse,” Morelle said during debate on the legislation.
Senate action on congressional stock trading is uncertain. The chamber has not scheduled a vote on its own version of the legislation, which seeks to prevent not only members of Congress and their families but also the president and vice president and their families from owning and trading individual stocks.
Sen. Josh Hawley’s Halting Ownership and Non-Ethical Stock Transactions Act has bipartisan support but goes further than the House’s bill.
