As The Salvation Army launches its Red Kettle Campaign this holiday season, some of its long-time donors are withdrawing their support from the 156-year old charitable organization citing its newly embraced "woke" ideology as the reason.
Of great concern to loyal supporters and faithful Salvationists is the initiative dubbed "Let's Talk About Racism." In a nutshell, its curriculum outlines the Christian church's alleged racial collusion and provides action steps to analyze and combat racism through an "anti-racist" lens while incorporating Critical Race Theory.
Definitions of institutional and systemic racism are included while real or perceived differences in life outcomes ("inequities") are attributable not to individual effort and other circumstances, but to discrimination. Sections address topics including police brutality, health care and Black unemployment linking such topics to "racial inequity."
That's troublesome for those who note The Salvation Army has been a leader in confronting racism long before the rest of the country and over five decades before the civil rights movement. And they're asking why then should members of an organization built by the Christian faith to actually assist people of all races in need, be repentant of behavior they never perpetuated?"
In my estimation, CRT is a Trojan horse taking in well-intentioned Christian enterprises that—because they care about justice and oppose oppression—naively promote the most serious threat to biblical Christianity I have seen in 50 years," wrote Christian apologist and radio talk show host Greg Koukl in a Facebook post earlier this month.
Entitled An Open Letter to The Salvation Army, Koukl prefaces the post by informing TSA that he is terminating his monthly donations and directing them to another organization. Koukl is also the founder and president of the Stand to Reason, a non-profit religious organization

I evaluated my white privilege and closed my wallet to those white devils masquerading as Christians.
The leadership is destroying the organization. It has been going on for years but they have become more open about it with their woke statements.
Maybe those workers will give my share..
“Once the top leaders understand how offensive this material is, they will also understand the damage that it is doing to the organization. Only then will things change.”
Quit rationalizing and apologizing for upper management. Quit blaming consultants. Once management accepts woke ideology they’re all in for life.
Screw Jerry Jones and his lousy football team, that can’t even figure out what Pass Interference is.
You can’t be serious that they don’t see the damage they have brought upon themselves. They are intelligent. When I see them, I will tell them that I won’t donate a dime.
Battle Creek Masonic lodge has done bell ringing for them the last few years.
Captain, have you read the comments here? You aren’t going to change any minds.
Let me cite O’Sullivan’s First Law: “All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.”
So true.
not another cent to them from my family.
Well, woke is bad grammar,...
Thanks for the link! I’ve heard good things about Color Us United.
Talking to any organization that would do this is pointless. The only way to reach them is through their finances. Enough cancelled donations and they will have to review their misguided policy.
And yes, this is what the Left truly wants, as they believe Government should be the source of all “Charity”.
