[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never even heard of this club. But no person, organization, or business should ever be compelled to provide any statements on anything. To expect a statement regarding your pet cause is narcissistic. Have they released a statement about women's rights? What about disabled people? What about older parents and ageism? Lots of worthy causes out there. Should we demand statements on those too? People are just looking to be outraged right now regarding race. I also guarantee that most organizations posting public statements about racism at the moment are just worried about PR. [/quote]

+1. Just staying out of something is fine for an organization like this. It's not a political party. They don't need to have a stance or allow other people to use their platform for this. And once you post whatever fairly banal thing someone initially wants you to, what about when someone else complains that it's not enough and wants you to post something more divisive? Now you're in the business of having to adjudicate exactly what's permitted and what your stance on a particular issue is, when that's not what you want your organization to be doing. If you're looking for a mom's group that does this stuff, great, go found it. You're no more obligated to stick around in this one then they are to deliver what you want them to deliver. [/quote]
