You will never guess what is the latest target of the “Woke” crowd. Some of the leading figures are known by these names that wake you up each morning that you might have heard? They go be names like: Tony the Tiger, Snap, Crackle, and Pop!
ReutersBy Daniel WiessnerAugust 10, 2023A conservative legal group on Wednesday urged a U.S. anti-discrimination agency to investigate Kellogg Co (K.N) over workplace diversity policies that it says are unlawful, and accused the cereal maker of sexualizing its products.This is the second complaint filed this week against a company by America First Legal, a nonprofit run by Stephen Miller, who was an adviser to then-President Donald Trump.America First in a letter to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) said Kellogg's hiring, training and promotion practices are designed to achieve a balance based on race and sex that violates the federal law banning workplace bias.It also criticized marketing campaigns including boxes of Cheez-It crackers featuring drag queen RuPaul and cereal boxes celebrating LGBTQ Pride Month."Management has discarded the company's long-held family friendly marketing approach to politicize and sexualize its products," the group said.
Leave it to the right-winger to use 1984’s Doublespeak on Tony the Tiger.
The EEOC typically investigates companies based on complaints filed by workers, known as charges. But the agency's five individual commissioners have the power to launch their own probes and file charges if they find that discrimination has occurred.So-called "commissioner's charges" are rare, with only a few filed in most years. But, last year commissioners filed 29 charges when a vacancy on the commission created a 2-2 stalemate between Democratic and Republican appointees that hampered the agency's ability to bring large-scale cases through the normal process.
I don’t see how a policy of “We do not discriminate” is twisted into “We hire only Blacks and gays” but that is what these white supremacists are trying to twist it into.
America First said it also had sent a letter to Kellogg's board of directors on Wednesday threatening shareholder litigation if the company maintains the allegedly illegal policies.The nonprofit on Tuesday sued Target Corp (TGT.N) on behalf of an investor, saying the retailer failed to anticipate customer backlash over LGBTQ-themed merchandise that hurt its stock value.The complaints are part of a campaign conservative legal groups and Republican legislators are waging against corporations that have enacted so-called woke policies on social issues such as race, gender and diversity.
When the cases are thrown out of court the companies should sue America First Legal to recover legal expenses.
I am positive that organization will circulate a template for anyone to use against any company that has a diversity program in place. All that is necessary is to start a campaign or non-acceptance and hate or boycott and that will be the ticket to SCOTUS. SCOTUS has unleashed the dogs on everyone.
