A watchdog organization recently released a “Hate Map” highlighting hate both directed at and originating from colleges and universities, among other locations, particularly showcasing liberal hostility toward conservatives.
The New Tolerance Campaign’s Hate Map is an interactive tool that shows the geographic location of instances of politically motivated hate on campuses around the country. It lists 201 organizations or individuals that have engaged in “hard left extremism.”
The map is intended to counter the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Map that claims to show hate from conservatives directed at liberals, according to the group.
The campaign states the organizations listed in the map have “promoted, inspired, or directly engaged in physical violence against those with whom they disagree.”
Some of the organizations include “Radical LGBTQ Activists & Groups,” “Antisemitic Organizations & Individuals,” “Environmentalist & Animal Rights Groups,” “Rogue Non-Profits and Individuals,” and “Left-Wing Extremist Groups,” among others.
“The current list includes groups represented on 17 separate university campuses,” said Gregory Angelo, the New Tolerance Campaign president, in a recent email interview with The College Fix.
“Most of the student groups represented on HateMap.com at this moment fall into the category of extreme antisemitic rhetoric and assault against Jewish students, but we are monitoring leftist hate against people of all faiths,” said Angelo.
One of the incidents came from George Washington University’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine.
“A chapter of SJP at George Washington University projected ‘glory to our martyrs’ on the side of a campus building in further support of Hamas terrorism,” the hate map states.
The map also includes incidents from American University’s chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Muslim Students Association.
“The MSA American University chapter withdrew from an interfaith event due to the Jewish group Hilel’s support of Israel. MSA AU’s statement in response to their decision called Israel a ‘settler-colonial and apartheid state,’” states the map.
The College Fix reached out to the media teams at American University, Columbia University, and Arizona State University for comment last week but did not receive a response.

The group Students for Justice in Palestine is mentioned on the hate map 11 times.
“It should be noted that Students for Justice in Palestine has more than 200 chapters across the United States. For the first iteration of HateMap.com, we made the decision to focus only on the most egregious and aggressive SJP chapters,” Angelo told The Fix.
“One shouldn’t conclude that SJP chapters currently not listed on our Map are ‘good’ — we just had a high threshold for what constituted genuine ‘hate’ as we put the Map together,” he said.
On its website, NTC describes itself as “a watchdog organization mobilizing Americans to confront intolerance double-standards by establishment institutions, civil rights groups, universities, and socially-conscious brands.”
“NTC action campaigns empower ordinary Americans to hold accountable self-proclaimed arbiters of tolerance when they betray their own stated values,” its website states.
The new hate map is intended to counter the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Map that claims to show hate from conservatives directed at liberals.
In a recent X post, the NTC advertised its hate map, stating: “By giving the veneer of objectivity but focusing only on one side of the equation, the @splcenter allows hate on the left to go unmonitored and unchecked. That ends now.”
“Unlike the Southern Poverty Law Center, the New Tolerance Campaign had real, objective criteria and a high standard for defining ‘hate’ — specifically: inspiring, advocating for, or engaging in violence,” Angelo said in a Fox News Digital interview.
“We are going to continue to catalog hate and the promotion of violence on the left,” he said. “Sadly, I don’t think that that number is going to be going down anytime soon. If anything, it’s going to be going up.”
