Chick-fil-A Foundation donated to far-left SPLC in 2017, tax records show
Christians have a right to be outraged at Chick-Fil-A for their betrayal of the company's long-standing support of pro-Christian organizations. What is a bridge too far, however, is the realization that the company has donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left anti-Christian organization that has done much harm to the pro-family movement in America. Sadly, I think the true realization is that the new folks at Chick-Fil-A have abandoned the heritage Truett Cathy left this company and have decided to virtue signal their "wokeness" to the world. Sad. Let's hope the hashtag #getwokgobroke soon applies to Chick-Fil-A.
Chick-fil-A’s charity arm donated in 2017 to the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that has labeled many Christian conservative organizations as “hate” groups.Following the immense conservative backlash to Chick-fil-A’s recent decision to end giving to the Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Christian conservative activist and commentator Ryan Bomberger raised an alarm Wednesday about a past donation made by the Chick-fil-A Foundation.In an op-ed slamming the Chicken sandwich chain’s “cowardice … in the face of LGBT activism,” Bomberger linked to a copy of the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s 2017 IRS 990 PF form.SPLC is a far-left legal group that aims to “fight hate” and teach tolerance. It gained prominence in the civil rights community by defending victims of attacks by white supremacist group Klu Klux Klan.Although it is glorified for its fight against white supremacist groups, the organization has labeled dozens of Christian conservative advocacy nonprofits as “hate” groups because of their views on issues like marriage and criticism of radical Islamic terror. SPLC’s “hate” group label has been used in mainstream media to discredit the work of Christian conservative advocacy groups.
