The SPLC’s Learning for Justice program promotes critical race theory, transgender ideology, and forms of “social justice” activism in schools. When parental rights groups oppose this agenda, the SPLC puts them on the “hate map” alongside Klan chapters.

The report also found that the National Institutes of Health awarded a $2.5M grant to the University of Michigan to implement Learning for Justice material. NIH told me that it had canceled the grant in March 2025, but further research suggested otherwise…

“Learning for Justice… pushes critical race theory and transgender ideology,” I told @FoxNews. “SPLC uses its ‘hate map’ to condemn parental rights groups on the other side of the issue, silencing opposition to its agenda by comparing these groups to the Ku Klux Klan.”

“Taxpayers have the right to know what groups, like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has financed racial animosity, are doing with their money,” @open_the_books President @johnhart333 told Fox.

By the way, if you want to do something to oppose this, you can bring my book to a school board meeting like @rosalindhanson did. Kudos to her for speaking out!https://t.co/x3ZjELKZ9T

🚨🧵 Following Trump’s 2016 victory, a toxic anti-American network weaponized to systematically sow hatred & fracture our nation. SPLC’s Learning for Justice (formerly Teaching Tolerance 👇) was front center in the plot to steal American minds & this was released Summer 2016… pic.twitter.com/L0kRGJrWNW
