The Gateway Pundit reported on the decision by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) to fire 90-year-old volunteer Fran Itkoff after she expressed confusion about “what pronouns meant.”

After intense backlash, NMSS has issued a tepid apology to Itkoff that makes clear they will continue to align with woke DEI ideology.

An apology from the left sounds like a curse.

An apology AFTER backlash is NOT an apology but a ‘please don’t hate us for being imbeciles and for our treating people like crap for not believing just like we do”

"An apology from the left sounds like a curse."

An apology from the Left is like a dog caught doing something it knows it wasn't supposed to do. Its not from a sense of remorse, but from a fear of punishment.

“Is there ANYTHING these woketards haven’t infested??”

We all know the answer to that.

Everything except us and some of our families.

"As an organization, we firmly believe that we best serve and support those living with MS by creating a space that welcomes all."

...except those that are confused by or refuse to indulge us in our delusion.

Who is being reprimanded and/or retrained to ensure that leftist ideology does not further harm this volunteer and the organization? Without that the apology is meaningless.

That’s no apology. They simply said they should have talked with her more and until she submitted to their perverted woke crap.
And they doubled down on their commitment to perversion.

The MS Society is a grift and needs to choke.

And read the “apology”. It was we are sorry we did not force you to agree with us and we are not changing. They haven’t learned a thing. Damned devants.

Nobody. They say their only mistake was not convincing her that the perverts were correct.

God bless her. And now I am wondering what this organization is doing with a large amount of their donations? How much money is spent on woke, DEI, etc? Is this the old “Jerry’s Kids” organization?

They need to be able to not afford young grifter deviants.

30 years ago the NMSS called me once a week for 3 years soliciting funds until I finally answered the $#$@ phone and told the obnoxiously tenacious lady on the other end I had my own charities and she only then let me off the hook.

I hate this org.

Our default position must be that every large institution is our enemy.

That should be correct in about 99% of cases.

Could we JUST stop playing by their rules? At some point, we all need to tell these people “F_U” and when they can’t find any good help, they’ll stop with this nonsense....
