Back in 2018, Heidi Beirich sat on stage as the face of SPLC’s “Intelligence Project,” the group responsible for the “Hate Map,”talking about giving teachers and students the tools to stop hate in schools. She spoke like SPLC was the nation’s moral compass on hate, the group that tracked... “hate incidents” after Trump’s election and then packaged those numbers into school programs and “Teaching Tolerance” materials that they pushed into K–12 classrooms. Fast‑forward eight years, and now we find out the same organization has been indicted by a federal grand jury for a long‑running fraud scheme, accused of secretly funneling millions of dollars to informants inside extremist and white‑supremacist groups, hiding those payments with sham entities, and lying to banks and donors about where the money was going. In other words, while Heidi was telling schools that SPLC was the answer to hate, prosecutors now say SPLC was quietly paying the very people living and breathing that hate to keep the hate alive.show more
