How do high-profile, complicated entities, such as publicly-traded companies and educational institutions, demonstrate their core principles when presented with emotionally-charged issues? It seemed so straightforward to most in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.
It would be hard to be more mealy mouthed that the CEO at a company, which I won't name, nor will I share anything other than vague details because of my NDA, where I have been plying my weak assed attempts to herd the mediocrities that pass as white collar employees. If it mattered what a CEO thought outside of their role, I suppose it would be worth opining but it doesn't. Given the reputation of the institutions that still have flag poles to fly their equally irrelevant causes, like the ones mentioned by Mark, I'll just cynically repeat my favorite album title from a really long time ago, "Nothing matters, and what if it did." I still retain fond memories of the red ensign flying on Avenue Road at many of those private institutions that delivered inferior educations (so said Conrad Black) and others to boring to recount, not that they matter.
Over on Bathurst, near Lawrence, in the early 90's, I toiled at a foreign bank which was, so they told me, the "national bank" of Israel, that flew the flag I just mentioned in addition to others you'd expect to see. I worked with a woman who shared with me her memories of getting married days before the Yom Kippur war. I have been thinking how real her fear was then, speaking of events some 20 years before, and how little has changed in the 30 years since.

Glad you are saying what is the unsayable.
Morally bankrupt political class, and a generation, if not multiple, of indoctrinated Marxists. Sickening, both.
