What about the OTHER 19 STATES that have identical laws?
Are they canceling those as well, or are they just hypocrites, going by whatever the latest DailyKos-approved current Truth happens to be?
But, let's cut the Salesforce CEO some slack. In his hurry to be indignant and offended and judgmental (to prove how unjudgmental he is, Benioff simply missed that little detail. I'm sure he'll issue 19 more press releases about where he and his employees and clients will not travel.
But wait. These state laws are simply underscores of the bill that Clinton signed into law. So that would be, what? All of the states must now be on Benioff's verboten list.
Better get crankin with those 49 additional press releases, Marco. And we want an explanation for just why it took you 22 years to do it.
We’ve had that same law since 1998 here in Illinois. No track record of it being used for anything discriminatory. It protects churches from out-of-control zoning boards and other mundane things like that. If they do get Indiana to back down (which I don’t expect), the next step would be to try and roll it back in the other states that already have it. It’s a “use the momentum” tactic. It’s how they got a number of those bad gun laws passed after Sandy Hook. Cynical tactic, but effective. Indiana needs to let this storm blow over. But it will put second thoughts into those states that don’t have it yet and are thinking about it.
Peace,
