One of the world’s biggest tech companies funds one of the most prominent anti-conservative groups in the United States.

Google’s charitable branch Google.org has donated $250,000 to the Southern Poverty Law Center, since 2016. The SPLC is a liberal bastion of hate against Christians, conservatives, and anyone who dares to question left-wing values. It has worked with Google and its sister company YouTube in the past. The SPLC is also one of the trusted flaggers responsible for marking videos considered to be “hateful” on Google’s sister site YouTube.

Google also recently announced that it had launched a new program to pay its employees to do work for nonprofit groups that are partnered with Google. One of the partners, listed on Google.org’s website, is the SPLC. Google will theoretically pay its employees to work for the SPLC, should they choose to do so.

Google’s reason for funding the SPLC? “Funding a total redesign of the Teaching Tolerance website to ensure teachers can more easily access and integrate the content into their lessons. The funds will also support scaling of successful pilot curriculum aimed at teaching anti-bias, as well as high-quality teaching about slavery in the United States,” says Google.org.
