Made everyone aware that Butker was not from Kansas City!
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas confirmed the employee was fired during an interview with KCMO Talk Radio on Thursday, according to KBTX. The city also released a statement, "The employee has been separated from the City workforce for violation of City policy by posting outside the scope of authorized City communications. The City will have no further comment on the post or individual employees related to it.”
They are calling it doxing, but it seemed more like this employee believed that Kansas City would otherwise be embarrassed by Butker, and wanted everyone to know he lived in a different town. This was pure bigotry regardless of how you look at it. What is happening here is that everyone relevant is backing Butker, his jersey is the best-selling NFL jersey right now, and what he stated was fairly noncontroversial by objective standards.
The problem is you have these people who live in this bubble, and they believe that everyone thinks like them. But recently these bubbles are getting smaller and smaller and becoming isolated within the larger demographic who disagree with them. Right now, the vast majority of people agree that marriage and family is a higher calling than career. If you don't believe it, ask people what they would rather give up? Their family or their career?
Now as for the deal with Butker seemingly advocating for stay-at-home moms, he was really just telling the graduates that there is nothing wrong with this (even as your general run of the mill feminist would demand otherwise). Certainly, Butker is correct when he suggests that stay at home moms get a bad rap that they do not deserve. There is nothing wrong with any woman (or man) staying home and raising a family over sending their children to daycare while chasing down a career. While it isn't for everyone, we should not be shaming women into believing that it is any less important in society.
The culture war continues, and for now it would seem that the good guys have the momentum for a change.

That's complete bullshit. When I lived there I lived in Olathe KS, but in casual conversation I told people I lived in Kansas City. As in the metro area.
Curious that we don't know the employee's name
