Inclusion' Efforts

Some conservatives have suggested a boycott of Chick-fil-A after the
fast-food chain was discovered to have a vice president of “diversity,
equity, [and] inclusion,” or DEI.

In a previously issued Chick-fil-A news release, the company said that
Erick McReynolds serves as its vice president of DEI, saying:
“Chick-fil-A restaurants have long been recognized as a place where
people know they will be treated well. Modeling care for others starts
in the restaurant, and we are committed to ensuring mutual respect,
understanding, and dignity everywhere we do business.”

DEI is a set of principles that large corporations, government
agencies, and schools have increasingly incorporated into their work
environments, often mandating employees receive such training.
However, these principles are rooted in Marxism, according to
prominent critics including Christopher Rufo and James Lindsay, that
are essentially vehicles for “left-wing racialist ideology and
partisan political activism.”

“They are designed to replace the system of academic merit with a
system of race-based preferences and discrimination—which, in many
cases, explicitly violates federal civil rights law,” wrote Rufo for
his Substack page earlier this year.

The Chick-fil-A announcement was highlighted this week by several
prominent conservative accounts. According to McReynolds’s LinkedIn
page, he was hired as Chick-fil-A’s vice president for “Diversity,
Equity [and] Inclusion” in late 2021.

“We have a problem,” wrote Joey Mannarino, a conservative host in
highlighting Chick-fil-A’s prior announcement, on Twitter Tuesday
morning. “Chick-Fil-A just hired a VP of Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion. This is bad. Very bad. I don’t want to have to boycott. Are
we going to have to boycott?”

He also wrote: “The Left is going crazy again over the Chick-fil-A
boycott that conservatives are considering. They’re mad because we’ve
FINALLY gotten effective at boycotts. Any company that is pushing the
trans stuff on our kids or the DEI stuff, we are going to pick the
worst offenders.”

“So Chick-fil-A has a diversity, equity and inclusion division,” added
columnist Todd Starnes on Tuesday. “Well, that explains the fried
cauliflower sandwiches and kale salad.”

By Tuesday afternoon, Lindsay wrote on Twitter that he agreed with the
boycott calls and made demands. “We must demand that Chick-fil-A fire
their entire ESG and Sustainability staff and partners (including
DEI), referring to the left-wing environmental, social, and governance
framework.

“Ideally we get them to confess how they got caught up in the racket,
and then we return support,” he added. “Conservatives might actually
be able to pull this one off.”

The chicken-based fast-food chain has been generally well respected
among conservatives due to the company’s religious values and its
prior support for religious groups. In the McReynolds DEI
announcement, Chick-fil-A makes reference to its corporate purpose,
which is “to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is
entrusted to us” and “to have a positive influence on all who come
into contact with Chick-fil-A.”

The Epoch Times has contacted Chick-fil-A for comment.
Backlash Growing

In recent weeks, a number of companies have faced backlash for
embracing what critics say are left-wing values or a pro-LGBT agenda.
Since early April, Bud Light has seen a significant backlash after it
produced a beer can with transgender activist and influencer Dylan
Mulvaney’s face and as Mulvaney suggested a partnership with the
brand.
