Should Parental Rights Groups Be Classified as Hate Groups?

The recent disclosure of documents reveals that before parental rights groups were labeled on a “hate map” by the SPLC, a meeting occurred between a senior member of the Department of Education and SPLC representatives. Critics, such as the co-founder of Moms for Liberty, argue that the administration is unfairly targeting parents who are simply advocating for their children’s education amidst the pandemic. The reasoning behind SPLC’s decision to include such groups alongside known extremist organizations remains unclear, raising concerns about the implications for free speech and parental involvement in education.
