Two weeks ago, the co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center (a left-wing organization ostensibly painted as a civil rights group) was fired for undisclosed reasons. A week later, we learned the firing occurred as employees within the organization alleged racism and sexism. A few days after that, the president of the organization resigned.
Now we have an inside look at the turmoil within the center, thanks to The New York Times, whose reporters spoke to current and former employees, board members, and “close observers,” and who also reviewed “internal documents and public records.” One has to read through paragraphs of glowing praise for the center as a “civil rights group” and its monitoring of “the radical right” without any pushback or questioning about what it considers “the radical right,” but there is good information in the piece.
