House Republicans filed a resolution on Thursday condemning the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for placing parental rights groups like Parents Defending Education on its "hate map."

The SPLC added Moms for Liberty, Parents Defending Education, Army of Parents, No Left Turn in Education, and others to its "hate map" on June 6. Nine days later, Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., led House Republicans in "pushing back against the labeling of attempts by parents to ensure school curriculum and sports are age and sex appropriate as extreme," the Daily Signal first reported. 

"I introduced this resolution because I’m sick and tired of far-left groups demonizing folks who are just standing up for their rights," McClain told Fox Digital. "I find it disgusting that an organization like Moms for Liberty could be labeled a hate group by SPLC because that’s simply not the case."
