Conservatives across the country are outraged after Chick-fil-A announced the hiring of a new executive for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Erick McReynolds will serve as the fast food giant’s vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion, according to a press release on Chick-fil-A’s website.

“Chick-fil-A restaurants have long been recognized as a place where people know they will be treated well. Modeling care for others starts in the restaurant, and we are committed to ensuring mutual respect, understanding, and dignity everywhere we do business,” a statement from McReynolds read. “These tenets are good business practice and crucial to fulfilling our corporate purpose.”
That corporate purpose is to “glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A,” the release went on to say.
“At Chick-fil-A, Inc., our commitment is to approach this work with intention and humility, always believing the best in one another and striving for common ground,” the statement continued. “We’re early on in our journey, but we’re honored by the opportunity to steward our organization’s greatest asset, our people, and are energized by the road ahead.”
The announcement of a DEI push and the hiring of McReynolds has not been well-received on social media.
“We have a problem. Chick-Fil-A just hired a VP of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” one user on Twitter commented.

This is bad. Very bad.
I don’t want to have to boycott.
Are we going to have to boycott?

“This is bad. Very bad. I don’t want to have to boycott. Are we going to have to boycott?”
“Chick-fil-a is not a public company. They don’t have public shareholders,” another tweet read. “Why they would hire a VP of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is stupefying. I can only surmise the owners have gone woke. Sad to say, it looks like another boycott is warranted …”

“Sadly, Chick-fil-A is embracing DEI and ESG after being co-opted by race & trans activists who have made it impossible for the organization to reflect the Christian values of its founder,” according to another Twitter user. “Marxists won’t allow belief in Jesus Christ.”
