A judge in Florida has ruled that national retailer Target will have to face a lawsuit filed by shareholders who are upset at the loss of revenue thanks to repeated boycotts over the store brand’s woke, gay agenda.
Target had asked the judge to throw the case out of court., but U.S. District Judge John Badalamenti in Fort Myers, Florida, ruled that the shareholders presented enough evidence to show that their case had standing and validity, and he ruled that it can go on.
According to KSL-TV:
The lawsuit from investor Brian Craig claims that Target’s board focused only on activist groups’ calls for diversity, equity and inclusion measures and overlooked potential negative responses to the Pride campaign in May 2023.
…
America First Legal, the conservative group that filed the lawsuit last year, in a statement on Wednesday called the court ruling a “warning to publicly traded corporations’ boards and management.” The group said the risk of diversity, equity and inclusion programs and environmental, social, and governance initiatives “cannot be whitewashed with boilerplate language or ignored.”
This will be an important case to watch, because if the shareholders win, it’ll be another blow to the extremist, left-wing agenda that infests our economy.
