Southern Poverty Law Center Fires Founder For Unspecified Reasons
UPDATE:
I wonder if Gavin McInnes’s lawsuit has anything to do with this? Regardless, good riddance.
The discredited “anti-hate” group Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) fired its co-founder and chief litigator Morris Dees for a “personal” issue that didn’t reflect “the mission of the organization” or its values.
A statement from the organization’s president, Richard Cohen, published by the Montgomery Advertiser, states that Dee’s employment was terminated “effective yesterday.”
“Effective yesterday, Morris Dees’ employment at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was terminated. As a civil rights organization, the SPLC is committed to ensuring that the conduct of our staff reflects the mission of the organization and the values we hope to instill in the world. When one of our own fails to meet those standards, no matter his or her role in the organization, we take it seriously and must take appropriate action,” the statement said.
Gavin McInnes recently noted that the media had changed the way they addressed him in articles after he filed the lawsuit against the SPLC.
