    they hired a DEI executive and now some are up in arms claiming "only a matter of time until they start putting tranny semen in the lemonade"..it would be funny if it wasn't sad how far some have strayed from the core values of christianity in an attempt to demonize others.

    Conservatives are now calling for a boycott of Chick-fil-A for going "woke" (msn.com)

    “Chick-fil-A’s Corporate Purpose is ‘To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A,'” the website states. “One of our core values at Chick-fil-A, Inc. is that we are better together. When we combine our unique backgrounds and experiences with a culture of belonging, we can discover new ways to strengthen the quality of care we deliver: to customers, to the communities we serve and to the world.”

    The sorts of things a DEI executive could do to advance diversity could include hiring more people from diverse backgrounds, making sure that the company isn’t discriminating against minority workers, and creating an environment where people of diverse backgrounds feel welcome. “These tenets are good business practice and crucial to fulfilling our Corporate Purpose.”

    After Chick-fil-A was first caught donating to extremist groups that promote, among other things, conversion therapy, then-company president Dan Cathy said that the company was “guilty as charged” because they want to promote “the biblical definition of the family unit.”

    Chick-fil-A later walked back that support and said that they would stop funding organizations with “political agendas.” Years later, they were again caught donating to groups that oppose LGBTQ+ equality, and the chain again promised to stop donating to them. But a report in 2021 showed that Cathy – one of the heirs to the Chick-fil-A fortune with an estimated net worth of $8 billion – was giving money to organizations working to pass anti-trans laws in dozens of states and blocking the Equality Act in Congress.

    Call it diversity, inclusion, and equity. It makes a better acronym.

    Well to be fair the Desantis' University Board of trustee appointees also pushed for dei. However, this was before the he decided that he wanted to run for president and his view on everything changed

    Is there a real-time database that the GOP maintains to let its members know what to boycott? It seems like the list is growing by the hour. How do you keep up with what businesses you are to patronize and which ones you are not?

    If the idea is to just boycott companies with DEI departments, there's gonna be a lot more Amish communities popping up

    Like I said, if they boycott every company that had DEI anywhere in it, they may be left with Zaxby’s and the pillow guy.
    Good luck living on that.

    Every conservative call to start boycotting a business starts with one wacko dude (or dudette, as the case may be) clamoring for it on social media.

    Frequently, that wacko is Donald Trump.
