REVEALED: Target's VP of brand management is treasurer at LGBTQ group that pushes school districts to allow children to secretly change gender: Company donated $2.1 million to organization
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 29, 2023 | Lewis Pennock

A marketing executive at Target also serves as the treasurer of a LGBT organization which receives millions of dollars from the retailer and advocates allowing trans and nonbinary school students to keep their gender identity secret from parents.

Carlos Saavedra, 43, is Target's vice president for brand management and also volunteers as a director at GLSEN, which supports LGBTQ youth in schools.

Details of Saavedra's role at GLSEN come as Target's donations to the organization were placed under the spotlight following a backlash to the retailer's Pride month range, which includes 'tuck-friendly' women's swimwear.

Target has reportedly donated $2.1 million to GLSEN, whose policies include ensuring school staff should 'ensure that all personally identifiable and medical information relating to transgender and nonbinary students is kept confidential'.

GLSEN's policy said this should include withholding the information from 'parents or guardians... unless the student has authorized such disclosure'. Critics say the policy 'violates [a parents'] right to parent their own children]'.

Target says on its website: 'GLSEN leads the movement in creating affirming, accessible and anti-racist spaces for LGBTQIA+ students. We are proud of 10+ years of collaboration with GLSEN and continue to support their mission.'

Saavedra joined target in July 2019 and was made Vice President, Brand Management in January 2021, according to his LinkedIn page.

His profile says he joined GLSEN as a board member in May 2019 and was elected to the executive committee as treasurer in November 2021.

Saavedra's profile explains the organization's mission is 'helping create safe spaces in schools for LGBTQIA+ students'.

Saavedra was approached for comment.

Remember the old days when ‘perving’ on children would be cause for firing and jailing, rather than promotion to the executive suite?

I miss the old days.

The satanic transgender homosexual cult runs deep and freely in the USA. No morals, no shame (Pride, right?).

The “short” of the year, Target. RobinHood, HomoGlobo and BLM will take them out, the next Bed Bath and Beyond. Add Target. Remember K-Mart? Sears? Me neither.

How is this freak allowed to work from LA and almost everyone else at FtArGet is forced to work in Minneapolistan?

Oh so worried about being "invisible", not hardly, Carload.

Now their children’s satanic clothing line is putting the nail in their coffin.

Trans designer dumped by Target explains how he got smeared as Satanist

Transgender designer Erik Carnell was dropped by Target after a smear campaign calling him a Satanist.

Activists soon discovered Carnell’s independent web store, where he has sold, among other items, pins and medallions that used satanic and occult imagery to make points about transphobia. A lavender, goat-headed medallion that reads “Satan respects pronouns” is among his most popular designs. A pin depicting a guillotine with the label “Homophobe Headrest” might be the edgiest.

Everyone has heard of "The Peter Principle", right? Some moron gets promoted and promoted but finally ends up waaay over his skis, creating damage to both the company's brand and particularly the company's equity, shocking the shareholders.

Here is "The Peter Puffer Principle".
