You will not meet a less tolerant group of individuals than progressives, which is ironic since they consider themselves to be the most “tolerant” folks to grace the face of the earth. Well, a mom of three children who was targeted by left-wing zealots and ultimately fired from her job for speaking out at a local school board meeting over her concerns about the LGBT centered curriculum being taught to her kids would probably beg to differ. However, unlike the spineless jellyfish on the left, she remains firm in her convictions.
Janet Robinson, the mother mentioned above, has come out and stated that she is completely undeterred and would take the same course of action all over again, according to a report from the Daily Wire.
“I would do it again,” Roberson said in an interview with The Daily Wire. “For me to lose a job is horrible and not okay, but I would be willing to do it again. Absolutely. To speak the truth and to stand for freedom and for what our Constitution stands for — 100%.”
Robertson was given a pink slip from her job as an independent contractor working for Compass, a sizable real estate company located in New York. She was let go from the firm, by phone, just 11 days after speaking out at the Benicia Unified School District board meeting.
“Children are asked to identify their pronouns; and this is now part of the 10-year-old curriculum,” Roberson said in her address to the school board on April 20. “We are alarmed that gender identity is being discussed in math classes. This takes time from core learning and does not benefit the students or our community. Teaching kids that there isn’t any standard or truth and you can believe anything you want to believe is not scientifically accurate or medically correct. For example, the notion that a girl can decide to be a boy, or a boy can decide to be a girl, is not true and should not be taught.”
Not long after she shared her concerns at the board meeting, local activists began coming after her. Two local papers published several letters that complained about Roberson’s comments at the meeting.
Here’s more from the report:
In the Vallejo Times-Herald, for example, a former City Council candidate named Billy Innes identifies Roberson as a “Compass Real Estate agent” multiple times — an emphasis Roberson believes was made in an attempt to get her fired — and claims the mother delivered a “lengthy, bigoted diatribe denouncing” “gender-inclusionary language.” He also claims Roberson promotes racism, transphobia, “anti-COVID safety,” and “content that favors Eugenics” on her website. Roberson denies all these claims and described them as horrifying.
There was also a letter written to Compass from a woman named Nathalie Christian, the treasurer of the Progressive Democrats of Benicia and self-described story development coordinator for The Benicia Independent, an openly left-wing blog.
In the letter, Christian tells Compass that Roberson has an “anti-equity, anti-trans, anti-Black, and anti-choice” “agenda” and suggests the mother be fired or punished by the company. The letter also asks about Compass’ DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) practices and how Compass “disciplines” agents who are “openly engaging in divisive, hateful, harassing, or abusive rhetoric in their personal lives.”
The member of Progressive Democrats of Benicia gives the company a 9 a.m. deadline set for May 1 to issue a response or else the Benicia Independent group will move forward concerning its post on Roberson. Christian then says that the post “will reach between 1,300 and 1,500 people and will reference that Ms. Roberson is currently employed by Compass.”
The mother of three then received a phone call on May 1 saying the company was letting her go.
“I just randomly got a call on May 1 — which was the deadline date that the treasurer of the Progressive Democrats had given — from the regional corporate director,” Roberson recounted. “He said, ‘Well, Janet, I’m calling to say you can no longer do business as a Compass agent.’ And I was — my heart just dropped. I was absolutely devastated.”
“I said, my performance is great, my sales have been stellar, I’m an earner, I’m working so hard and I’m making money for the company,” she recalled saying in her response to the director. “And he said, this has nothing to do with business. And that really shocked me, and I said, ‘Well, that says all you need to say right there. If you’re saying this has nothing to do with business, what does this have to do with?’ And he said — I don’t remember his exact words, but words to the effect of, well, the past week has been a lot.”
Compass has rightly received a ton of backlash for allowing themselves to be bullied into firing an employee for her own personally held beliefs, to which the company responded on X in a post saying the decision to let Roberson go was at the request of her team’s owner.
That, my friends, is called cowardice.
