Hate, Inc. Loses the Pentagon But Gains Silicon Valley
The hate business may not be what it used to be – at least on the government level.

Well, bully for the Pentagon for showing that bully to the door.
The DOD’s pullback from the SPLC was reported by the Daily Caller, which said that a Justice Department attorney stated in an email that the DOD “removed any and all references to the SPLC in training materials used …

Federal Lawsuit Filed Against District 211 and DOE Over Student Privacy
