House Republicans have submitted a resolution (pdf) in defense of parental rights organizations such as Moms for Liberty following their classification as “extremist” by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on a “hate map” alongside Ku Klux Klan chapters.

The resolution, filed by Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) on June 15, asserts that it isn’t extreme or hateful to believe that parents, rather than the government, should have the final say in their children’s education.
