Chick-fil-A is receiving an onslaught of conservative ire after the company's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiative spread across social media.

"One of our core values at Chick-fil-A, Inc. is that we are better together," reads the company's website, which now includes a DEI section. "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. We understand that getting Better at Together means we learn better, care better, grow better and serve better."



The DEI effort, per its website, involves the following:

-Ensuring equal access: The intentional promotion of equal opportunity through processes and practices, "to provide personalized development and eliminate barriers to opportunities so all can thrive."

-Valuing differences: The company says it seeks to understand and honor unique experiences and perspectives, as they "strengthen us as we unite around something bigger than ourselves."

-Creating a culture of belonging: Promoting and sustaining a culture where all individuals can thrive and contribute.

So the place closed on sundays is trying to ensure they are inclusive and that’s upsetting?

I noticed their annual scholarship giveaway was all women and minorities...


How is it white women continue to benefit from DEI?

Of course but Chick-fil-A is #8 in fast food with $9 billion dollar per year revenue. Canes ain't even close. Chick-fil-a is way more popular across the world.

Nothing actually happened at CFA today that's the most bizarre part

The dude has been in the same job (VP of DEI) for 1.5 years. CFA just made a post about it today for some unknown reason and generated all this outrage for nothing.

Liberals are bringing up old news in hopes that conservatives will end their boycotts because they won’t boycott CFA.

Don’t fall for it. This news is from 2019.

All my money goes to gun and knife companies anyway. I don't waste it on woke corps, as much as I can avoid it.

Companies that do/say this come off as ones that have internal problems that they can't fix on their own, so they are over correcting. Which will only bring their quality down.

Does this mean they will open on Sundays? Will be curious to see if they no longer care about anything.

I applied for a franchise in 2015 and they denied my application because of close proximity to a casino. They told me gambling was counter to their core values.

I should try again.

Free to say I don't agree, so I will no longer be supporting a company monetarily or otherwise.
Best of all, free to tell you to shove your ideas right up your rear.
