The student government at the University of Minnesota recently passed legislation that would require that it spends half of its discretionary funds at LGBTQ or racial minority-owned businesses.
The Minnesota Student Association “will be required to purchase no less than 50% of items considered food or supplies at a local women-owned, BIPOC-owned, LGBTQIA+ owned, or a disabled-owned small business, or website,” according to the resolution from the public university’s student government.
It cites a CNBC article that covered research originally published by the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research that found minority-owned businesses were hit hard by COVID lockdowns.
It’s part of an “ethical mandate purchasing” resolution passed by the student government on February 23 that also criticized Amazon and promised to try to avoid spending money at the company.
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
