Looks like the evil stepmother got her wish. Cinderella won’t have her fairytale ending after all.
Per cancel culture narrative, The Chanhassen Dinner Theater in Minnesota abruptly dropped its production of Cinderella according to Pioneer Press. Artistic director Michael Brindisi decided that having a “98% white” cast was not enough of a “commitment to social justice.” Sad to say Cinderella’s glass slippers will remain MIA.
After careful consideration and with our ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres has made the decision to cancel our upcoming production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Our hope in beginning the production process again with a new title will allow us to put into practice an intentional process based on the work we have been doing towards equity and inclusivity.
Evidently the “too white” cast for the classic folk tale didn’t align with the woke mob and rather than recasting, the only logical solution was to cancel the production … and fire all of the already casted artists. The show will be replaced with the dance-centric “Footloose” which will undoubtedly feature dancers of red and yellow, black and white. (Remember the movie “Footloose,” starring those eminent black actors John Lithgow and Kevin Bacon?)
The funny part is that the town of Chanhassen —south of Minneapolis — isn’t even full of diversity itself. The recent census indicated that 92.5% of the town’s population are white, less than 3% are Hispanic, and 1.1% are black. So even if the theater wanted “identity-conscious casting,” they’re going to have to look hard.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. 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!
