Starbucks caved to “homophobe-admiring activists” by demoting the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization, from leading anti-bias training sessions, Jewish progressive group Zioness claimed Tuesday.
“What a painful irony that, in their attempt to combat racial stereotyping, Starbucks has given in to purveyors of other hatreds,” Zioness said in a statement released on Tuesday. “Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour have no authority lecturing anyone — especially one of America’s largest and most influential corporations — on bigotry.”
