    Owl Woman, there are no companies in this world more political than those on the left. There seriously is no way you can deny that. Hope things are well in your neck of the woods.

    I sure wouldn't want my grandkids reading Nazi, White Nationalist or even MAGA stuff or anything political that even sniffs of indoctrination. Not even normal sex much less LGBTQXYZ sex. THEY'RE KIDS FOR CHRISSAKES !
    5 year old kids can read advanced English? Wow I didn't know they are geniuses.

    From a more credible source than the OP's National Review:

    "Hours after a report about the partnership prompted an online uproar from conservatives, State Farm announced that it was dropping its support of the GenderCool Project, aimed at helping raise awareness around what it means to be transgender, inclusive and nonbinary.

    "State Farm spokesman Roszell Gadson confirmed to The Washington Post on Tuesday that the insurance company had ended its support of GenderCool after it had “been the subject of news and customer inquiries.”

    "“Conversations about gender and identity should happen at home with parents,” Gadson said in a statement. “We don’t support required curriculum in schools on this topic. We support organizations providing resources for parents to have these conversations. We no longer support the program allowing for distribution of books in schools.”

    "The company maintained that it would “continue to explore how we can support organizations that provide tools and resources that align with our commitment to diversity and inclusion.”"

    State Farm, the household-name insurance company, has abandoned its program to distribute LGBTQ-themed books to teachers, community centers, and libraries, explicitly targeting children as young as kindergartners, after a media exposé based on a whistleblower email caught the company by surprise on Monday.

    In an email to all State Farm agents and staff members sent just hours after multiple news outlets revealed the book initiative, Victor Terry, chief diversity officer and vice president of public affairs, announced the cancellation of its collaboration with GenderCool, an organization that promotes LGBTQ teaching via speaking events, mentorship programs, DEI/HR consulting, and advising for parents of transgender children.

    “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,” the email, obtained by Libs of TikTok, read. “We will no longer support that program.

    “Conversations about gender and identity should happen at home with parents. We don’t support required curriculum in schools on this topic. We support organizations providing resources for parents to have these conversations,” Terry wrote."

    How totally horrifying. You must have swooned and hit your head again when you copied and pasted that.

    Yes, State Farm folded due to backlash from parents.

    They should never have been distributing perversion to be taught to little boys and girls.

    Darn shame, because narrow minded parents won’t discuss the subject with their kids.

    There are *many* American companies that are "political" now. That's how divided this nation has become.

    All is good here, hope the same for you.

    It's none of your business what parents discuss with their children.

    It is the parents business what teachers discuss with their children.

    I don't admit that because it is not true. A fetus is not a "baby." A zygote is not a "baby." An embryo is not a "baby." Now get your long upturned nose out of other people's uteri. That's a good boy.

    A baby dies during an abortion.

    The Supreme Court just got in the business of these baby killers.

    Brain dead and no moral compass. A psychopath with no thought of the baby that is killed.

    No, they won't. It's okay though. Their kind is doomed; what we're seeing (this thread is a good example) is the flailing of a dying RW animal. They just cannot live in a world where people are accepted for who they are.
