Did Chick-fil-A Finally Cave to the Woke Agenda?

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Chick-fil-A has stood as one of the last few fast food institutions left with any values for quite a while now.

Of course nobody is perfect and they’ve had their share of missteps, but they’ve overall remained relatively based.

Apparently those days may be gone however.

The alleged Christian company recently released a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) statement, which seems to cut against many of its values.

“One of our core values at Chick-fil-A, Inc. is that we are better together,” reads Chick-fil-A’s website.

It continues: “When we combine our unique backgrounds and experiences with a culture of belonging, we can discover new ways to strengthen the quality of care we deliver: to customers, to the communities we serve and to the world. We understand that getting Better at Together means we learn better, care better, grow better and serve better.”

This comes as the company just promoted Erick McReynolds as the new vice president of DEI.

Has Chick-fil-A finally caved to the woke agenda?

You be the judge!

The Post Millennial has more on Chick-fil-A’s foray into woke waters:

The uber-popular fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A has recently published its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) statement, which appears to be a complete abandonment of its long-held Christian values. A statement recently released on the company website states that one of its “core values” is “that we are better together.”

Chick-fil-A’s statement continued: “When we combine our unique backgrounds and experiences with a culture of belonging, we can discover new ways to strengthen the quality of care we deliver: to customers, to the communities we serve and to the world. We understand that getting Better at Together means we learn better, care better, grow better and serve better. Chick-fil-A, Inc.’s commitment to being Better at Together means embedding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in everything we do.”

On Tuesday, Chik-fil-A revealed it was appointing Erick McReynolds to serve as the new vice president of DEI, prompting many furious reactions on Twitter from conservatives who say the fast-food giant has officially “gone woke,” per The New York Post.

I really wanted Chick-Fil-A to stay grounded in their roots. Isn’t going to happen. https://t.co/531ZtVbn1H

Chick-fil-A is infected with DEI and it will only be a matter of time before that place falls in every way possible. pic.twitter.com/0Lg6NWcu90

I suppose we should have seen the writing on the wall a while back:

Chick-fil-A has been going downhill ever since Samuel Cathy passed.

Trending Politics has more on the reaction from consumers:

Conservatives on Twitter have turned their fire on restaurant franchise Chick-fil-A after the company announced the hiring of a new vice president dedicated to bringing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts to the traditionally conservative chicken sandwich brand.

Attention was drawn to a new posting on Chick-fil-A’s website featuring Erick McReynolds, the new Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, who is quoted as saying the company is “committed to ensuring mutual respect, understanding, and dignity everywhere we do business.” A tweet highlighting his comments also shows a separate website page describing the company’s “Better At Together” initiative, which states, “when we combine our unique backgrounds and experiences with a culture of belonging, we can strengthen the quality of care we deliver.”
