SPLC Alleged Discrimination

For John, BLUF:  The Southern Poverty Law Center seems to be a Progressive Organization with a penchant for smearing more mainstream organizations.  It once had a mission, but has morphed into a political aggitation activity.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Southern Poverty Law Center Is Racist, Employees Say

From The Washington Free Beacon, by Reporter Patrick Hauf, 28 March 2022, 5:25 pm.

Here is the lede plus two:

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its extensive list of hate groups, is racist, according to its employees.

SPLC Union members protested outside of their employer's office Monday in opposition to the legal advocacy group's plan to require certain employees to return to in-person work.  The union, in a statement, claimed the move targets black women because it primarily requires workers in low-level positions to return to the office.

"Staff in more highly regarded job classifications and who are higher-paid employees are being given the flexibility to work remotely, while women, Black, brown, and lower-paid employees are forced back into the office regardless of our work, our needs, and our advocacy for more inclusive treatment," Lisa Wright, a union bargaining committee member, said.  "Forcing employees back into the office isn't about collaboration or cooperation—this is about policing and surveillance of SPLC's lowest-paid employees."

Actually, this seems more class discrimination, which shows itself as racist because of who has which positions.

Benefit of the doubt to the SPLC, but it adds to my suspicion that the SPLC is a corrupt institution.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
