Middlebury College is the second time SPLC’s labeling led to violence
-- BombThrowers: The Middlebury College attackers who shut down Charles Murray’s talk and assaulted a professor accompanying him drew their argument in part from a familiar source. They cited the Southern Poverty Law Center’s labeling of Murray as a racist.
