I'm Samantha Sheriffs and I'm Virginia Allen and this is the Daily Signal Top News for Wednesday, June 7th.

Here are today's headlines.

Our colleague Tyler O'Neill is reporting that the Southern Poverty Law Center,

which brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations as hate groups placing them on a map with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan,

added a slew of parental rights organizations to that hate map for 2022,

and labeled them anti-government extremist groups.

The SPLC's Year in Hate, an extremism report claims schools especially have been on the receiving end of ramped up and coordinated hard-right attacks,

frequently through the guise of parents' rights groups.

The report also says these groups were in part spurred by the right-wing backlash to COVID-19 public safety measures in schools,

but they have grown into an anti-student inclusion movement that targets any inclusive curriculum that contains discussions of race, discrimination, and LGBTQ identities.

The SPLC report does not once mention the left's aggressive promotion of sexualized material for children in schools and at other venues.

It does not mention the drag queen story-hour movement or the fact that many of the books which parents demand removed from school libraries include pornographic content.

The report also does not mention how many on the left champion the idea that children should be able to identify with a gender opposite their biological sex,

hide that identity from their parents, and even obtain life-altering drugs without parental consent.

Instead, it acts as though the parental rights movement emerged in a vacuum or worse is motivated by hate.

The SPLC long has demonized conservative Christian groups such as aligns defending freedom as anti-LGBT hate groups,

national security groups such as the Center for Security Policy as anti-Muslim hate groups,

and immigration groups such as the Center for Immigration Studies as anti-immigrant hate groups.

The SPLC's 2022 report released Tuesday includes a new designation, the anti-government movement.

We'll include a link to Tyler's full article in today's show notes.

House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer has filed a resolution to hold FBI director Christopher Ray in contempt.

Why? Because he did not comply with a congressional subpoena regarding a document alleging a $5 million bribe from a foreign national to President Joe Biden.
