SHIKHA DALMIA: The Intellectual Poverty of the Southern Poverty Law Center. “The SPLC’s ridiculously loose criteria could even brand the Dalai Lama a hater given that His Holiness considers homosexuality “sexual misconduct.” The SPLC is now useful only to Social Justice Warriors who share its ideology in toto.
