'We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity'
A Minnesota hospital issued a profuse apology to staff after failing to abide by its “values of respect and justice” — by giving out free Chick-fil-A.
Essentia Health in Duluth wrote to staff last Tuesday after staff clucked about the free sandwiches available in the St. Mary’s Medical Center’s atrium earlier that day.
“We have received feedback from some colleagues who were concerned or offended by this occurrence, and we value colleagues feeling comfortable expressing their reservations,” Tammy Kritzer, senior vice president for regional operations at Essentia Health wrote in an email to medical staff that was obtained by The Daily Wire.
“We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity, and we appreciate all colleagues continuing to live our values of respect and justice,” Kritzer wrote.
Chick-fil-A has drawn the ire of LGBT activists over the years, who have boycotted and staged protests over the company donating to groups like the Salvation Army, which activists claim has “a record of anti-LGBTQ discrimination.” In fact, the company emphasizes that it “values diversity, equity and inclusion” and does not discriminate or tolerate harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
“In the words of Maya Angelou, when we know better, we do better,” the email concluded. “Thank you for giving us grace, as we work to be better, together,” the email read.
Some cities have prevented Chick-fil-A from opening locations at their airports, including Buffalo, New York, and San Antonio, Texas. The chain famously does not open on Sundays to honor the Lord’s Day, Chick-fil-A’s founder explained, likely causing it to lose more than $1 billion a year.
While Essentia staff squawked about the free lunch, they have been silent about some of their employer’s other decisions. The hospital, which did not respond to a request for comment, provides cross-sex hormones and more to minors. According to the Stop The Harm database, Essentia has performed at least five sex change operations on minors.
St. Mary’s apologizes for handing out food from a restaurant that supports a traditional view of marriage. All of these nominally “Catholic” hospitals, universities and charities need to change their names and go full secular. They have absolutely no connection to their history anymore.
I think I might have Chic-fil-A for lunch today.
The queer, Pete, is looking for a job now that as honorary queer cabinet member, he is out of a job
Woketardians must always be offended and whine about something. It’s their only substitute for having no social value and being absolutely worthless.
Similarly expect St. Paul Minn to change name to.
I would have told my employees, if you don’t like it don’t eat it. And if that’s not good enough then quit, you’re too stupid to work here.
Don’t eat it if you don’t want it.
The elderly Founder of Chik-Fil-A, who made the simple statement that he “believed in Biblical Marriage”, has long since passed on.
It is that simple statement from a 90 year old man that caused all this DRAMA in the first place.
Millions of people supported C-F-A and they went woke anyway.
Conservatives in every state should troll leftists in their sphere with targeted, anonymous delivery of free lunches from Chick-Fil-A.
For the price of a pair of movie tickets and snacks, the entertainment value is priceless.
;-)
Chick fil A went full homo and woke five years ago. Kneel and polish blm shoes, cut off Salvation Army and FCA and started donating to a needless shelter for runaways started by a homo pedophile priest. Then they got rid of the slaw for kale dirt salad to appease idiot college girls.
Hope Chick fil a is enjoying their new friends.
Such a sad state of affairs.
Prayers that we can take this time in American history to make a strong turn toward reasoned tolerance.

... "Whey's may rap-a-ray-shuns?"
“Absolutely ridiculous. Besides, Chick-fil-A surrendered on this issue years ago and went woke, what’s the point?”
Looks like it worked out great for Chicken-Turd-fil-A. Never surrender your values to be accepted by libtards.
Thank you to these employees for showing us all that this hospital is dangerous to our health, due to their employees being mentally compromised, and due to their focus on major distractions to their quality of care. May they rot and collapse.
AMEN!
Saul, MN?
It’s Minnesota being Minnesota.
Chick Fil-a went woke long ago. My last meal there was in 2018.
Did it ever occur to anyone to just ignore them and let them not eat?
