I have prejudices about lots of things. Is that a fantasy, I don't really have them? If my insurer has different prejudices than mine, that's nothing that concerns me.

I wonder how the original White Jake from State Farm feels about this.

Do you really think SF set out to push an agenda? What, exavtly, is that agends?
What exactly was misrepresented by the "whistleblower" or article? Specifics would be great.

These books being offered were targeted at being put in schools aimed at Young elementary school kids hardly the "general public". If anything misleading is going on, let's start with your attempt to try and equate these Children's books to some Peer-Reviewed publication.

It's curious that you are interested in my stance on every issue in the world. But I am actually relieved that you are not some stalker who follows me to the point where you know every one of my stances or statements. But since you seem to think that I have said SF should be boycotted over this, can you please point out where?

You used the terms "pushing" and "exposed", which are loaded words. Please be clear with a Yes-or-No answer: Did State Farm,with malice aforethought, go outside its usual corporate bounds, to advance an unfounded agenda?

Companies are figuring that out. I think it's going to wind up that Dave Chappelle was the one to draw the line in the sand.

Well, actually you read something that you were told was from State Farm. And it might actually have been someone from State Farm...any of their 65,000 employees or 60,000 agents and agents' employees.

Particularly any LGBTQ+ employees who are angry because State Farm pulled support from The Gender Cool Project after the project stabbed them in the back.

He had already quit the company for his own reasons.

Why are they pusthing this crap?

Aren't they in business to sell insurance?

Went to search for their CEO online and found exactly what i expected to find.

Leave our kids alone you sick jerk.

I have an appointment with out local Farm Bureau insurance agency to switch over all my homes and our autos.

I am not having anything to do with this sick agenda of confusing and disturbing our precious innocent children.

Notice that when the light is shown on them, they slither back under their rocks.
