    The quote below sums up libtards nicely. Libtards are intolerant bigots that hate thinking and demand absolute communist conformity.

    'My university sacrificed ideas for ideology': Read the terrifying testimony of how Portland State University's cancel culture - obsessed with race and gender - drove a philosophy professor out because he would not conform

    'Students at Portland State are not being taught to think. Rather, they are being trained to mimic the moral certainty of ideologues. Faculty and administrators have abdicated the university’s truth-seeking mission and instead drive intolerance of divergent beliefs and opinions. This has created a culture of offense where students are now afraid to speak openly and honestly', Peter Boghossian wrote in his resignation letter

    Eleven Trump appointees to the Military Academy Advisory Boards have been by the Biden administration that they must resign or will be removed, CNN reported on Thursday. Not only have many signaled that they will not resign, but they've announced such decisions in particularly memorable ways.

    White House Press Secretary confirmed as much during Wednesday's press briefing:

    The President's objective is what any president's objective is -- to ensure you have nominees and people serving on these boards who are qualified to serve on them and who are aligned with your values. And so yes, that was an ask that was made.
    I will let others evaluate whether they think Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer and others were qualified, or not political, to serve on these boards, but the President's qualification requirements are not your party registration, they are whether you're qualified to serve and whether you're aligned with the values of this administration.

    Kellyanne Conway, a former senior counselor to Trump, was one of the 11 asked. She tweeted the letter she sent to President Joe Biden on Thursday. "I'm not resigning, but you should," her letter closed with.

    "Your decision is disappointing but understandable given the need to distract from a news cycle that has you mired in multiple self-inflicted crises and plummeting poll numbers, including a rise in new COVID cases, a dismal jobs report, inflation, record amount of drugs coming across the southern border, and, of course, the chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan that left hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghan allies stranded under Taliban rule," her letter read in part.

    She replied to her tweet with a message for her critics, too. It also made a slight reference to her husband, George Conway, a Washington Post columnist and founder of the Lincoln Project.

    Since I'm not the Conway on Twitter regularly, I'd forgotten how left-wing it is and how nutty some people are. LOLOL. I'm WORRIED for you. Get some fresh air, folks. Wear pants that button and zipper again. Get a hobby that doesn't involve a keyboard. Make a friend. https://t.co/k1mR2JVLON

    "Three former Directors of Presidential Personnel inform me that this request is a break from presidential norms. It certainly seems petty and political, if not personal," her letter also mentioned.

    Conway was appointed to the board for the United States Air Force Academy.

    Even CNN's reporting acknowledged that "members typically serve out three-year terms."

    And in the ultimate sign that Cancel Culture has gone too far...

    First look: Harris veterans launch firm to protect CEOs from being canceled
    https://www.axios.com/ceos-cancel-c...ums-b65cb267-4940-467b-bfde-ea743a1efc5d.html

    A group of Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign veterans is launching a strategy firm to help CEOs avoid getting “canceled” and to advise companies how to respond to changing cultural norms before they're faced with a crisis.

    Driving the news: C Street Advisory Group, led by CEO Jon Henes, a former national campaign finance chair for Harris’ presidential campaign, will draw on the group's broad political network to help corporate America diversify its workforce.
    • “Young people know the difference between genuine change and window dressing," Henes, a 20-year veteran of Kirkland & Ellis, tells Axios. "You have to understand your own organization and make real, systemic changes."
    • “Change can be scary, and in today’s world, fear can lead to inertia,” he said. “But inclusive leadership and inclusive change will lead to incredibly valuable, value-driven organizations.”
    Why it matters: C Street is entering an emerging, competitive market with financing from Antara Capital, a hedge fund backed by Blackstone — a sign that big financial firms view the diversity field as a growing industry.
    • It will compete with traditional crisis management firms, as well as strategic consultancies such as Teneo (founded by former aides to President Clinton) and WestExec Advisors (which started with Obama veterans and served as a government-in-waiting for the Biden administration).
    The big picture: Both public and private companies face pressure from their employees and outside investors to take positions on a variety of controversial social and political issues.
    • But there is also a risk of backlash for so-called “woke capitalism,” not to mention pressure campaigns such as what Major League Baseball endured after it moved the All-Star Game from Atlanta over Georgia’s new laws that curbed voting access.
    How it works: C Street plans to use diverse contacts in the business, legal, academic and political world to help CEOs and company boards make changes in their corporate culture and hiring practices.
    • The goal is to help immunize companies and top executives from the threat of “cancellation” or an employee backlash.
    • The firm will offer advice across four different areas: general corporate strategy; diversity, equity and inclusion; talent acquisition; and traditional crisis communications.
    • Minyon Moore, a former political director in President Clinton’s White House and one of Harris’ closest confidants, is on the board of advisers.
    What we’re hearing: Alvin B. Tillery Jr., a professor of American politics at Northwestern University, will head the DEI practice.
    • Beth Kojima, a private equity and Goldman Sachs veteran, will be in charge of talent.
    • Melissa Prober, a litigator and former in-house counsel at the Clinton Foundation, will handle crisis communications and serve as general counsel.
    • Brian Mathis, a former Clinton-era Treasury official and investment adviser, is serving as a senior adviser.

  10. I remember years ago a consulting gig where there was a .01% chance I might speak to the media (never happened) so they sent a few of us to a media consultant which covered how to discuss the project and deal with difficult issues. Now it will have to include what fucktarded things NOT to say, tweet, instagram, Facebook, tik tok or otherwise make public as the face of the public...

    Seeing what happened to Papa Johns and Cross Fit and MyPillow, it is not a bad idea...
