White supremacist under investigation
for plot to assassinate Obama
A recent search of a U.S. Marine's barracks turned up a journal allegedly
containing white supremacist material and a plan to kill President Obama.
The incident is the latest disturbing account
<http://newsletter.splcenter.org/cgi-bin4/DM/y/nBPJO0Rd1CO0WIn0HBxL0Ep>
that suggests racist extremists are infiltrating the military - even as
officials deny there's a problem. SPLC President Richard Cohen has again
urged the Pentagon to uphold a zero-tolerance policy against white
supremacist activity.

share extremist roots
A new SPLC
<http://newsletter.splcenter.org/cgi-bin4/DM/y/nBPJO0Rd1CO0WIn0HBxN0Er>
report exposes the white nationalist roots of three Washington D.C.
organizations most responsible for blocking comprehensive immigration
reform. In response to the report, the

York Times editorial board wrote "Kudos to the S.P.L.C. for shining a

Palm Beach schools reach landmark agreement with SPLC
In response to a complaint brought by the SPLC and other civil rights
groups, school officials in Palm Beach County, Florida (the 11th largest
school district in the nation) have
<http://newsletter.splcenter.org/cgi-bin4/DM/y/nBPJO0Rd1CO0WIn0HBxP0Et>
agreed to boost the counseling and psychological services needed to help
students with emotional and behavioral disabilities. "These steps will help
ensure our most vulnerable students are given the opportunity to succeed and
are not pushed out of the classroom," said David Utter, director of the SPLC
Florida Youth Initiative.
