The news is replete with examples of corporations and institutions going woke, from Google to Aunt Jemima. Unfortunately, now The Salvation Army is in danger of joining the ranks of Woke Inc.
In materials prepared for its more than 1.5 million members, The Salvation Army uses terms that echo both radical “anti-racism” jargon and the divisive teachings of critical race theory, which divides people into two camps: the oppressors and the oppressed.
The Salvation Army has begun to promote political and racial ideologies under the banner of its New York-based International Social Justice Commission since the protests and riots over George Floyd’s death in police custody began over a year ago.
Early this year, Brian Peddle, general and international leader of The Salvation Army, announced an initiative called “Let’s Talk About Racism,” a curriculum with devotionals, videos, and other materials dedicated to helping Salvationists conduct “courageous conversations about racism.”
Peddle, who is Canadian, says in the video announcement Feb. 9 that the resource would help Salvationists “overcome the damage racism has inflicted upon the world, and yes, The Salvation Army.”
The initiative also includes definitions of institutional racism, systemic racism, and “Whiteness” that identify real or perceived differences in life outcomes (“inequities”) as attributable not to individual effort and other circumstances, but to discrimination.
As such, the materials starkly resemble the radical “anti-racist” programs such as Coca-Cola’s “Be Less White” program, or The Smithsonian Institution’s own “anti-racism” materials.

Yet another organization destroyed by the Left’s insatiable need to politicize everything
The Salvation Army are now Social Justice Warriors. Ring that bell.
It’s not enough to be colorblind.
You have to be pro black.
They just lost my donations
Same. We’ve made it an annual thing to drop a $50 into the buckets of a few of the ringers in the area. No more.
Or else.
Now that they're woke, we can watch them go broke.
No more.
Ditto. Not that I'm a big donor to Salvation Army or anything, and they're off my list.
I'll just re-direct the money to one of my favorites, Feed My Starving Children and Watts of Love
James 4:4 - You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God?
As this crap spreads through our nation will whites ever stand up for themselves or have the Marxist won?

The Salvation Army has found a new Church.
No more stuff donated to them then.
Same here. I have $50 a month automatically sent from my bank account to them. Done if for years. Stopping today.
I stopped many years ago when they started getting woke. When stores were trying to keep the bell ringers away during Christmas time, I would defend them. Now they are a bunch of woke, libtards!
