State Farm donating transgender books for 5-year-olds to schools in Florida
- Thread starter anatta
- Start date
Dated Jan. 18, the email was sent by Jose Soto, a corporate responsibility analyst for State Farm in Florida, and in addition to promoting the company's partnership with the GenderCool Project, it sought to recruit six State Farm insurance agents in Florida to "[receive] these books in March, then [donate] them to their community by the end of April."
"This is a fantastic way to give back and an easy project that will help support the LGBTQ+ community and to make the world around us better," the email added.
While the communique only referenced recruiting volunteer agents in Florida, it indicated that the program is a nationwide initiative.
In a zoom call with reporters, Consumers' Research Executive Director Will Hild noted that the materials promoted by State Farm and produced by the GenderCool Project would be barred from use in public schools once the new law takes effect in July.
n a statement to the Washington Examiner, State Farm defended the program, saying it is "strictly voluntary" and that the "strategy" of the program has "evolved."
"Participants are not being asked to share with schools," the statement said. "At State Farm, we are committed to diversity and inclusion; they aren’t just words, they are truly part of how we do business and lead our organization. We recognize and value the diversity of all people, and support a culture of respect and inclusion in the communities in which we live and work, as well as our workplace. The LGBTQ+ community is a valued part of the communities we serve and are valued members of our workplace."
The company added: "Kindness and respect is expected in all our interactions and extended to everyone we do business with across all segments of society. We embrace diversity and inclusion because it’s the right thing to do. We work with a variety of organizations and causes that express their own unique views, and support civil and open dialogue on challenging topics."

If you have State Farm, you should.. they are a terrible insurance company.
for 5 year olds?
At 4 I was playing in the sandbox and going to kindergarten at 5
I barely knew birds and bees much less sexuals ID
He’s just peddling the woke, culture war theme, prevalent in nearly everything right wing media, woke, crime, and the border, selling the armageddon of America

I have car insurance with them. Never had a problem with them.
What do you think the special session to assist with the homeowner's insurance rate problem will yield today? They really need to change some laws on this. Lots of roofing scams here.
You said 5 year old, that part is simply speculation on your part. Kids cant even read well enough for such books at 5. Silly.

They shouldn't be giving 5 year olds any kind of books on sex period.
I didnt make up the OP.. crime, border are polling pretty decent
But putting kids thru this got the Republican elected in VA
Fine by me if you want to play it down
of course. The Dems here are all like "this is no big deal - it's just political manipulation on Repubs part"
I agree they need to change laws, but Tallahassee is only going to pass giveaways to Insurance Companies that MIGHT result in short term rate decreases, until the Insurance Companies let enough time pass until they can take advantage of the laws.
One thing I heard they are going to do is let insurance companies prorate the value of a roof when they have to fix it..... Thats going to lead to a lot of unrepaired roofs after the next hurricane. A lot of foreclosures for people who cant pay $30,000 for the new roof. And a lot of money in the bank for Insurance Companies.

Crime and border always poll pretty decent, especially when the stereotypes are exaggerated, I don’t think a murder in NYC, a city of over eight million people, deserves nationwide attention like the right wing media would give it, there’s murders everywhere, small and big locales, but hey don’t get the coverage
Honestly now, is it a big time problem in America, is it happening everywhere, are schools getting blanketing across the land with whatever it is here you are hanging your hat on here?
