Saw in notables from a bread or two back that Richard Cohen of the SPLC just resigned.

 

Googled it to read more and saw another headline from 9 days ago: “Southern Poverty Law Center fires co-founder Morris Dees”

 

“SPLC President Richard Cohen said in a statement Dees' dismissal over his misconduct was effective on Wednesday, March 13. When pressed for details on what led to the termination, the organization declined to elaborate.

 

"As a civil rights organization, the SPLC is committed to ensuring that the conduct of our staff reflects the mission of the organization and the values we hope to instill in the world," Cohen said in the emailed statement. "When one of our own fails to meet those standards, no matter his or her role in the organization, we take it seriously and must take appropriate action."”

 

Dude is 82
