Conservative “Cyberbullying” Works!
Like a creepy neighbor, State Farm was there!
Cyberbullying works! At least, whatever the Left defines as cyberbullying works.
On Monday, The Washington Examiner reported that State Farm was “encouraging its agents in Florida to donate books promoting transgenderism to 5-year-olds to their local schools or public libraries, according to an email shared by a whistleblower.”
Like a creepy neighbor, State Farm is there!
This sparked waves of condemnation from the online Right, and by Tuesday morning, it was reported by The Daily Beast that State Farm was backing off.
“State Farm’s support of a philanthropic program, GenderCool, has been the subject of news and customer inquiries. This program that included books about gender identity was intended to promote inclusivity,” Victor Terry, State Farm’s chief diversity officer, wrote in an email to staff. “We will no longer support that program,” he said, adding that “conversations about gender and identity should happen at home with parents.”
According to The Daily Beast, this announcement was in response to “right-wing uproar.”
Conservatives pounce, yet again!
