Salvation Army defends racism guide claiming to ask white donors to apologize for racism



The Salvation Army is facing scrutiny.

A resource guide, designed by the organization’s International Social Justice Commission, is reportedly said to be asking white donors to offer a “sincere apology” for their racism.

The Salvation Army recently released a statement, defending its internal racism guide, “Let’s Talk About Racism,” put out in April.

In the guide, the organization discourages “colorblindness” and encourages staff members to “apologize for being white.”

“When I read the story, at first, I was like, ‘This isn’t true! It’s not possible, because it doesn’t fit the mission of the Salvation Army,’” said Major David Minks, commanding officer at the Fox Cities Salvation Army.

A section of the resource guide says,

The desire is that Salvationists achieve the following: Lament, repent and apologize for biases or racist ideologies held and actions committed.

“It’s supposed to be to help us understand some perspectives in the world today,” Minks said. “It’s not endorsed or followed by the Salvation Army here in Wisconsin, and it’s not endorsed and used in this particular unit – it’s not something we use or follow.”

The guide has since been removed from the Salvation Army’s website. But in its statement, the organization says some individuals and groups have attempted to mislabel the organization, saying:

They have claimed that we believe our donors should apologize for their skin color, that The Salvation Army believes America is an inherently racist society, and that we have abandoned our Christian faith for one ideology or another. Those claims are simply false, and they distort the very goal of our work.

“We have a very diverse group of people who serve, and love, and care for folks,” said Minks. “Some people have different political affiliations but, again, the Salvation Army is not a political movement.”

News of this guide has spread on social media, with many commenting things like, “Go Woke, Go Broke,” and threatening to no longer support the Salvation Army.


This backlash could mean seeing fewer donations this holiday season.


“This is really gonna hurt,” Minks said. “It breaks my heart when I hear from a donor that says, ‘I don’t support Critical Race Theory,’ and I, myself, don’t support it, but I think recognize that, when they withhold their donation and give somewhere else that who it hurts is the people that we serve.”

Dg thinks too logically...

You have to define pronouns with a Taylor series so that it is a transcendental number... or something like that.

Otherwise he won't believe you.

Error?

Wherein have I erred?

Oh right... white cisgendered God fearing male who is thankful for the privilege to be an image bearer

Not only not sorry but rejoicing to be AWAKE!

I could be a little more gracious to silly wokies I suppose but
holding the word woke & all it stands for in derision is just too fun!
You wouldn't deny my personal desire for fun would you?

Totally non responsive. Repeating the question asked isn't an answer or explanation.
And, no I wouldn't deny your personal desire for fun. but once again what does this have to do with your "pronouns" LOL.

Do you realize how easy you are getting off because Wheel, the grammar and punctuation expert is no longer here?
Do some research on this. You will appreciate it...Herfing

A bear walks into a bar and says, “Give me a whiskey and … cola.”

“Why the big pause?” asks the bartender.

The bear shrugged. “I’m not sure; I was born with them.”

After calling parents domestic terrorists, NSBA discovers: Get woke, go broke -- literally


Does the National School Board Association still have enough money left in its coffers to send Joe Biden and Merrick Garland nice fruit baskets? Seventeen NSBA affiliates have cut ties with the NSBA over their coordination with the White House and Department of Justice in casting parental complaints over curricula “domestic terrorism.” And as Axios reports, they’re taking their checkbooks with them — accounting for a 40% loss in revenue at the NSBA:

The National School Boards Association has since apologized, but the fallout could be seven figures in annual funding. At least 17 state affiliates have severed ties with the group — and some are even considering establishing a competitor.

The 17 state affiliates accounted for more than 40% of annual dues paid to NSBA by its state association members in 2019, according to Axios’ analysis of documents detailing those contributions.

Officials fear upheaval at the organization — the nation’s leading trade group representing U.S. public schools — will handicap it just as national debates over school curricula and COVID-19 mitigation measures dominate the political conversation.

The controversy “has weakened a national voice for public education,” wrote Steve Gallon III, a Miami-Dade County school board member and chair of NSBA’s Council of Urban Boards of Education, in an email to NSBA leadership last month.

It “has caused further devastation to the already dangerously fragile financial position of NSBA in the loss of revenue in the millions” and “abated coordinated, national efforts around issues of educational equity,” Gallon wrote.

“Educational equity” might have been one issue with the NSBA’s affiliates. The radical nature of the curricula. pushed by the NSBA and some state and local affiliates have raised the ire of parents — parents who vote in school-board elections. Before the pandemic, these curricula choices largely flew under the radar, but the veil has been lifted. Virginia’s election turned into a parental awakening nationwide, and the NSBA’s local and state affiliates are responding to the new incentive structure.

However, Lachlan Markay and Stef Knight report that the letter to Garland was more of a final straw of longstanding frustration by these affiliates. The latest to leave, Alabama’s state affiliate, told Axios that significant problems at the NSBA long predated the controversy, which executive director Sally Smith described as merely “symptoms of that dysfunction.” Markay and Knight note as well that state associations had already begun balking at NSBA’s leadership in a 2020 report prompted by a demand for more dues by the NSBA.

Instead, the NSBA will have to limp along with less income — a lot less income. The official figure is $1.1 million lost from state associations, but Axios notes that this is only one piece of lost funding. A number of local boards have also cut ties with the NSBA in the wake of the controversy, with a significant loss of revenue there as well. Plus, the state boards provided other funding for conferences and events on NSBA’s behalf, opportunities for revenue which will likely now disappear.

Speaking of new incentive structures, it appears that the NSBA overlooked one important recent development: Get woke, go broke. The radical obsession with race-determinism and the divisions it produces turn out to be not just terribly unpopular but spectacularly so outside of faculty lounges and Democratic Party inner sanctums. The NSBA’s arrogance in ignoring those incentives by attempting to leverage the FBI to protect its radical positions on curricula have made this one of the more spectacular examples of this new incentive structure, and perhaps the most entertaining.
