Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof: Hold FOX Accountable!
But take utmost care and watch yourselves scrupulously, so that you do not forget the things that you saw with your own eyes and so that they do not fade from your mind as long as you live. And make them known to your children and to your children's children." --Deuteronomy 4:9
On Wednesday, Rand Paul, the GOP's US Senate candidate for Kentucky repeated his claim that a central piece of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was wrong, and that businesses should be free to discriminate against whomever they please. Paul and his supporters don't seem to care that without federal intervention, Black people might still be second-class citizens in many aspects of American life: where we eat, where we work, even where we live. Then, on Thursday, FOX anchor John Stossel went even further, calling for the section of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that applies to business to be repealed. And he's refused to back down.
As LGBTQ people, we know the dangers and pains of legalized discrimination-it's not right for us, it's not right for anyone. It's time that FOX drop Stossel. Join CBST and ColorOfChange.org in demanding a change from FOX. Can you add your voice to the call to fire Stossel ?
