Leftists Resort To Boycotts And In-Store Protests As Target Scraps DEI Policies
https://wokespy.com/leftists-resort-to-boycotts-and-in-store-protests-as-target-scraps-dei-policies/Target’s revocation of DEI policies has prompted calls for a boycott from a number of left-wing figures including a Minneapolis City Council member where the retailer is headquartered.
Interestingly enough, Target practically pioneered the corporate DEI trend in 2016 when they backed a transgender bathroom policy, and ignored conservative groups who suggested they add a gender neutral/single stall bathroom to their stores (which many already had) instead of allowing grown men in the women’s room.
On Friday, Jan. 24, the retailer announced it would scaling back many of its DEI policies. In a statement, Target announced a conclusion to “three-year diversity, equity and inclusion goals” as well as the “Racial Equity Action and Change initiatives” as previously announced.
Furthermore, it removed wokeism from employee resource groups while also pledging to cease participation in diversity-focused surveys such as the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.
The left is getting really bent out of shape over Target leaving DEI. Well then, I will go shop at Target.
