Controversy Around the SPLC and Its Listings
While the SPLC’s early civil rights work was often praised, its recent actions have raised serious concerns. Many conservative entities, including Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), Family Research Council (FRC), and individual activists like Penny Nance, have found themselves labeled on hate lists. These organizations, recognized for their strong advocacy of traditional values and constitutional rights, have been accused of spreading “hate speech” based on their views on issues like gender ideology and LGBTQ rights.
