Following the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for counts that include wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering, it has resurfaced that the group failed to include reports from thousands of educators of anti-white language against students in the early days of the first Trump administration.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, in partnership with the American Federation of Teachers, released a report in 2016 titled "The Trump Effect: The Impact of the 2016 Presidential Election on Our Nation’s Schools." The report was based on a questionnaire that was circulated among the teachers’ union’s members in K-12 schools who subscribed to its "Teaching Tolerance" newsletter.
The report focused on the finding that 40 percent of more than 10,000 educators who had responded to the survey "have heard derogatory language directed at students of color, Muslims, immigrants and people based on gender or sexual orientation."
