Then she was reinstated with a backhanded apology... after the backlash!
In an interview done with Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik, Mrs. Itkoff said she was unceremoniously dismissed from her role last month after she asked questions about the organization’s use of pronouns in the context of their DEI policies after seeing it in some of the MS Society’s literature.
To quickly recap, in a late Friday afternoon email sent to Itkoff in mid-January, the group’s Community Engagement Manager, Kali Kumor, notified her that due to an alleged “failure to abide by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion guidelines,” they had “made the difficult decision” to tell her to “step down from your volunteer position, effective immediately.”
This obviously did not go over with a general public which is overwhelmingly against most of this pronoun bullying nonsense. But when it happens to a 90 year old volunteer who lost her husband to MS, that takes things to the extremes. How cold hearted and politicized do you have to be to put your personal politics ahead of general sensibility and common decency? Well we could ask the people who made the decision, but we would not like their answer too much.
While we acted at the time with the best intentions, we did not have clear protocols in place. We should have spent more time with Fran to help her understand why, as an organization, we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive movement where everyone has equitable access to the care, connections, and support they need to live their best lives.
You see, there was nothing actually wrong with dismissing her for not being woke enough. It was just that they should have spent a little more time lecturing her before actually kicking her to the curb. You know, give her a chance to becomes a good liberal woke person who believes you have to hate others and kick them out of the the MS Society in order to be inclusive. Regardless of the actions, the decision and the subsequent statements makes is clear that they are only wanting to be "inclusive" to a certain type of person and they have no problem "excluding" those who do not follow their woke beliefs.
just saw this from yesterday...

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution proclaims this a very big deal:
My only question is whether we are "sure" about this story. Techno Fog isn't exactly Fox News. I know they get a lot of things right and before others, but it seems weird that this revelation has not hit
