World of difference from SF agents in the field, and SF corporate. If you’d gone to the agents and suggested some program like this....99-percent would have said it’s very foolish and not something they’d support. That said....somebody in corporate needs a new job.

I wouldn't be assume they've backed all the way down. Here is exactly what they said, and note the key qualifier:

We do not support required curriculum in schools on this topic.

It would have been simple to say that they oppose "curriculum in schools on this topic" without the "required" qualifier. They didn't. They also did not say more generally that they do not support such materials being in schools, and especially libraries. They just opposed it being required in schools.

I can't believe this is was not deliberate. For a corporate policy statement as important as this one, you can be sure that a lot of bigwigs sat around and considered very carefully the exact language they were going to use. Their goal was to appease the public complaints while not antagonizing the rainbow crowd.

So, they put out this statement to appease the general public. But then they also privately satisfy the rainbow activists in their own organization by simply shifting money to either voluntary courses, or to books in the library.

Still creepy.

From what I read they were just going to “Pursue other areas to support trans children” I could be wrong.

If they did not fire anyone. If they did not take any active steps to change the corporate culture. Go with the General or some other discount company, because they are lying. It is not enough to retract a policy. It is not enough to say “Sorry.”

“We’re an insurance company who’s known to be conservative,” one agent from the Midwest was quoted as saying. “That is why this is so shocking. I can assure you (I’m on a private Facebook page for agents only at 4,000 members) that 99 percent of us are beyond pissed.”

“A big ‘why’ that was circling among agents and in private Facebook groups Monday night was: ‘How in the world was something like this green-lighted and not run by agents’ groups for vetting?’” RedState quoted another agent as saying.

“No way this would have ever been green-lighted had this been run by agents.”

Average criminals are caught, smart criminals are eventually caught, brilliant criminals start insurance companies.

“””Yeah, you’re right. I’ll probably go ahead and do that.”””


Good!!!!!

Let me also add that I do not get wedded to any particular insurance broker. I have been going out for quotes from new insurance companies and insurance brokers for over 25 years and I have always gotten a better price.

Now that the celebrate perversity lobby is in control of most of the levers of power at the national and many state and local levels, the corporate world is their next target.

People need to understand the globalist mentality that thinks too many people inhabit the earth and one key soft way to degrade population growth is to promote the perversity lifestyle. Another is to gradually replace native populations with more malleable third world hordes, but that has the mixed results of sometimes getting actual resistance from some of the more traditional third worlders who may not be receptive to the celebrate perversity values.

So it is much easier and more effective to degrade population growth worldwide by elevating celebration of perversity.

Right. The public face shows concern and regret for having made this “mistake” (although it was no “mistake”...it was thought out, planned, and approved by large groups of people up and down the chain inside the corporation)

But as soon as they think their customers are not paying attention, and their “regret” has been communicated to the public (like ants building an ant hill that freeze momentarily at the sweep of an anteater’s tongue then resume work as soon as it disappears) they will quietly, with no fanfare, resume their reprehensible behavior under the cover of obscurity.

And they sure as Hell won’t put out any press releases about what they are doing. But the end result will be the same.

“””Oh yeah? Very interesting and explains a lot if true. I just joined the ‘Consumers Research’ group that made the Twitter video ‘Like a Creepy Neighbor’. Will be researching that a bit. If you can find a link that would be fantastic.”””

Some things are still odd about this. The Florida program was announced by a seemingly low level analyst who has made his LinkedIn account private.
Then, according to a report from RedState, Rand Harbert, State Farm executive vice president and chief agency, sales and marketing officer, sent out a voice message to agents and others about the book project. Harbert reportedly said,
“First and foremost, I want you to hear directly from me that we made a mistake with our involvement in this program — and we’re sorry. As soon as we fully understood the issue Monday morning, the first decision we made was to cease our involvement with this organization. Let me be clear, our position is that conversations with children about gender and identity need to happen at home.”

“As much as we would like to be aware of every program and involved in every decision, it’s simply not possible as most of these gifts are small. In this case, it was $40,000. However, we recognize even small decisions can have a big impact, and we’re taking the necessary steps, so nothing like this happens again.”

So a junior analyst rolls out the program publicly in Florida, then a senior exec sends out an INTERNAL voicemail explaining the situation to employees and (maybe) agents. Why haven’t the top brass come out and made public statements acknowledging the blunder and committing SF to conservative (aka, normal) values? Or did I miss those?

Or are they in “Crap, we got caught. Time to tone this down for a while.” Mode?

Large companies use advertising agencies and PR and HR “professionals” to design their PR and advertising schemes. These are all notoriously leftwing entities, very persuasive at convincing execs and board members that there’s nothing more important than appealing to sexual perverts. And, almost invariably, there’s a backlash from normal, decent people.

We just changed to the insurance sold by Costco — American Family, I think.

There still is the State Farm website showing corporate relationships with other perverted LGBTQ+ organizations.

The best way is for people to cancel their insurance with State Farm and make sure they know why.

I was with State Farm for 25 years, went to buy a new house - told me they wouldn't insure it a couple of days before closing.

Cancelled my State Farm auto insurance the next week [3 vehicles].

That was the last insurance premium they'll ever get from me, and anybody I talk to.

The fact that they even *thought* about giving perversity a platform for expansion is enough to put them out of business for good.
