There are far better alternatives.

On May 8, tenured history Professor David Richardson said he received a letter from school officials stating he was being placed on administrative leave. Richardson had served Jeremy’s Chocolate at an open house event at Madera Community College the previous week.
Jeremy’s Chocolate was launched in March 2023 by conservative news site the Daily Wire after the Hershey’s Company released an advertisement for International Women’s Day that featured transgender woman and LGBT activist Fae Johnstone.
Jeremy’s Chocolate bars are labeled with the pronouns “He/Him” and “She/Her,” the former of which have nuts in them and the latter of which do not. Progressives on social media have criticized the brand as “transphobic.”

Richardson told The Fix in an interview Friday that the controversy stemmed from an exchange with a transgender staff member at Madera Community College, who demanded to know what the “He/Him” and “She/Her” pronoun labels on the chocolate bars meant.
“I … said, ‘You’ll have to ask Jeremy,’” Richardson said he joked. “But it was clear to me that this particular staff member was trying to pick a fight.”

A week later, a letter of suspension was delivered by a uniformed police officer to Richardson’s home, informing the professor he was being placed on leave and barred from stepping foot on campus, he said.
“As the British say, I was gobsmacked. I was floored,” Richardson told The Fix.
Richardson said that despite pressure to “kowtow” to the administration, he will not apologize for handing out the chocolates.

“I have done more for that college than any other single faculty member on that campus,” he said. “And all of that gets wiped away, because I refuse to kowtow to violations of free speech and academic freedom?”

That is funny. I need to get some for gifts
I love Hershey’s chocolate...growing up we went my family went to the park at least a half a dozen times..but have given it up.
This is my most difficult boycott to date.
This professor seems to be very clear on male anatomy vs female anatomy, yet he is confused about where to stick his.
“...after the Hershey’s Company released an advertisement for International Women’s Day that featured transgender woman and LGBT activist Fae Johnstone.”
That’s the end of any Hershey products, for me, and they’re just 35 miles east of me. Eff Hershey.
They ain’t cheap but yes. :)
You have other options
Welcome to the real world of communist America, David...
When a field of wheat is being harvested, gophers & other little animals need to never stick their head up out of their hole...
Hershey is dead to me. Our family’s favorite Christmas cookies use Hershey Kisses. Damn things came in from Malaysia and turned into a gooey mess. Ruined our cookies. They substituted vegetable oil for cocoa butter. Yea this might seem petty but sick and tired of greedy companies cutting quality.
I had a difficult time getting past the first 2 words. Gay conservative…. Hmmm…. They lost me.
David is a rank amateur at this. Everyone knows that, if gay and verbally attacked by anyone, the first word out of your mouth has to be “homophobe”. But now that this is going on, he’ll learn. ;)

There are far better alternatives.
Gibson’s Bakery in Oberlin Ohio is another good choice. They are great people!
And they are doing much better since they were finally paid by Oberlin College!!
No such thing as a “gay conservative.”
It is “trans” who are heterophobic, about themselves and about biological males and females that don’t pretend they are not males and females.
The whole pronoun woke craze is an academic construct meant to breakdown reognognition of the norms most people adhere to and believe in.
That whole craze is meant as one means to demand acceptance of trans persons as persons who have nothing mental going wrong, they just have the “wrong” bodies. That is a pretense built by the mental issue - identity dusphoria - with its attendant errant obsession, clinically on the same mental issue sprecture as anorexics and others who reject their own body. The “gender affirming” care they need is mental health care to help them overcome the errant obsession that is messing up their life.
Sorry.
Look in the lower right corner.
Three laying together.
Just what is their DNA?
“And they are doing much better since they were finally paid by Oberlin College!!”
Yes finally! The leftwing nuts at the Ohio Chamber of Commerce instead of supporting Gibson, filed a brief on behalf of Oberlin.
Molasses chips
