Do you think parents should have a say in their children’s education, that kids shouldn’t be judged according to the color of their skin, that parents should know if their children say they identify as transgender, or that books with explicit sexual images should be removed from school libraries?

If so, you represent a threat to civil rights tracing back to the “Uptown Klans” of white Southerners trying to maintain segregation after the Supreme Court’s landmark 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, according to a researcher with the Southern Poverty Law Center writing for the National Urban League.

[Yet another data point in the avalanche of reasons that no one should take the SPLC seriously, or the National Urban League. They’re using accusations of bigotry to stop debate on any part of the progressive agenda, a malicious and intellectually bankrupt strategy. Any public agencies relying on either organization should cut ties with them ASAP. — Ed]
