      XPost: alt.cereal, alt.politics.equality, talk.politics.guns       XPost: sac.politics, talk.politics.misc, alt.society.liberalism       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://news.yahoo.com/kelloggs-woke-workplace-diversity-programs-       214605913.html              By Daniel Wiessner              (Reuters) - A conservative legal group on Wednesday urged a U.S. anti-       discrimination agency to investigate Kellogg Co 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       former 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.              The EEOC can sue companies if it finds that their employment practices       amount to illegal discrimination.              Kellogg did not immediately respond to a request for comment.              Many legal experts expect an uptick in legal challenges to corporate       diversity programs in the wake of a June U.S. Supreme Court ruling barring       race-conscious admissions policies in higher education.              America First in the letter said Kellogg, for example, has said it wants       to have "25% underrepresented talent at the management level" by 2025 and       runs fellowship programs that are only open to racial minorities.              "Kellogg’s employment practices are unlawfully based on 'equity,' which is       a euphemism for illegal discrimination," Reed Rubenstein, a lawyer with       the group, wrote in the letter.              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 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.              (Reporting by Daniel Wiessner in Albany, New York; Editing by Stephen       Coates)                     --       We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
