ADL Scraps 'Glossary of Extremism' After Backlash

Source: Newsweek

Published Oct 01, 2025 at 02:50 AM EDT updated Oct 01, 2025 at 06:27 AM EDT

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has "retired" its Glossary of Extremism following backlash from senior MAGA figures who suggested Christians were being labeled extremist.

"With over 1,000 entries written over many years, the ADL Glossary of Extremism has served as a source of high-level information on a wide range of topics for years," the ADL said on Tuesday in an announcement on X.

"At the same time, an increasing number of entries in the Glossary were outdated. We also saw a number of entries intentionally misrepresented and misused."

Elon Musk and several other conservative names have spoken out against the ADL—for listing Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA (TPUSA) as extremist and for classifying a specific movement called "Christian Identity" as "extremism, hate or terrorism." Newsweek has contacted the ADL and TPUSA, via email, for comment.

Sounds right to me. More undeserved sane-washing.

I hope there is an archive somewhere. As a calligraphy teacher, I have referenced the ADL glossary to caution students about Celtic and Norse symbols that may decorate calligraphic compositions, so they do not inadvertently render a symbol of hate. This is so important.

What is happening when the ADL is capitulating to Elon fucking Musk and MAGA’s being offended for being called out for the piece of shit human beings they are?
