Jerry Newcombe writes for the Christian Post:
Are parents who are concerned for their children’s education “haters”? Are they bigots? Do they deserve to be treated as “domestic terrorists”? The answer to all of these questions should be “No.” But lately, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a group that claims to be the last word on who are haters and hate groups in America, has now added Moms for Liberty to their infamous “map of hate.”
This means, according to the SPLC, that right up there — or really, right down there — with the skinheads and the Ku Klux Klan is this grassroots organization of mothers concerned about their children’s education. America is in the midst of a crisis of education, and a crying need for more parental involvement in their children’s education. But according to the SPLC, if they are parents with a conservative point of view, then they’re bigots.
Read the full column.
Newcombe is a leader for D. James Kennedy Ministries, an SPLC-designated anti-LGBTQ hate group, and in his column he laments that the Supreme Court has shot down libel lawsuits against the SPLC for such designations.
Several such lawsuits were filed on behalf of D. James Kennedy Ministries, the Liberty Counsel, and others.
Newcombe also makes the oft-repeated lie that groups such as his are designated hate groups simply for opposing same-sex marriage. But if that were true, the SPLC’s list would contain hundreds, maybe thousands of anti-LGBTQ hate groups, not merely several dozen.
Of note, the SPLC presently lists Moms For Liberty as an anti-government group, not an anti-LGBTQ hate group. They do, however, appear on the SPLC’s hate map.
The vast majority of hate groups listed by the SPLC are affiliated with the KKK, Nazis, militias, white nationalists, and other anti-government groups.
Newcombe appeared here in 2012 when he claimed that only Christians went to heaven after 12 people were murdered in a mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater.
Also in 2012, we heard from Newcombe when he declared that Hitler would have supported GLSEN’s anti-bullying Day Of Silence. He then noted that that year’s Day Of Silence fell on Hitler’s April 20th birthday.
Moms for Liberty now a hate group? https://t.co/OQrEaqzY66
