Conservative activist Robby Starbuck is claiming another victory in his crusade against diversity, equity, and inclusion policies at major corporations. This time, it’s home improvement giant Lowe’s that has announced significant changes to its policies, following a warning from Starbuck that the company was next on his list.
According to Starbuck, Lowe’s has agreed to make several key changes, including withdrawing from the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, a system that he describes as a “woke social credit system.” The company will also cease making donations to pride events and other gatherings that Starbuck characterizes as “divisive.”
In addition, Lowe’s will be dismantling its employee resource groups (ERGs) that focus on specific racial or sexual orientation identities, replacing them with a single, unified ERG that aims to bring all employees together. Starbuck sees this move as a major win, arguing that it will help to promote a more inclusive and unified workplace culture.
Starbuck is taking credit for the changes, saying that his efforts are forcing major corporations to rethink their policies out of fear of being exposed and criticized. “We’re winning, and one by one, we will bring sanity back to corporate America,” he declared. He also hinted that more changes may be on the horizon, suggesting that Lowe’s executives have indicated that further reforms are in the works.
