State Farm, the household name insurance company, has launched a program that would enlist hundreds of staff volunteers across the country to distribute LGBTQ-themed books to teachers, community centers, and libraries, explicitly targeting children as young as kindergartners.

John Fund NRPLUS In collaboration with the GenderCool Project, State Farm aims to "Help diversify classroom, community center and library bookshelves with a collection of books to help bring clarity and understanding to the national conversation about Being Transgender, Inclusive and Non-Binary," an employee whistleblower email obtained by Consumers' Research, dated January 18, 2022, reveals.
"The project's goal is to increase representation of LGBTQ books and support out communities in having challenging, important and empowering conversations with children Age 5 ," the email from Jose Soto, State Farm's Corporate Responsibility Analyst, to all Florida agents reads.
In the message, Soto says that State Farm is recruiting six agents in Florida "That would be interested in participating in this unique project, by receiving these books in March, then donating them to their community by the end of April." "Nationwide, approximately 550 State Farm agents and employees will have the opportunity to donate this 3 book bundle to their local teacher, community center or library of their choice," the email added, confirming that the effort will extend beyond Florida.
The organization highlights youth spokespeople who either identify as transgender or don't conform to gender norms, called the "Champions," who "Are helping replace misinformed opinions with positive experiences meeting transgender and non-binary youth who are thriving." Beyond State Farm, GenderCool lists other major American companies as its partners and supporters, including Dell, Intuit, Nike, NBC Universal, Adobe, General Mills, Capital One, Intel HP, VmWare, Bank of America, Bayer, Out & Equal, Sprout Social, Prudential, CBRE, Oracle, USDA, Abbvie, JLL, and All State.
The book distribution initiative was not listed, suggesting it was possibly an original innovation of State Farm.
In a spoof rework of the company's hallmark slogan, "Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is there," the video ad reads, "Like a Creepy NeighborState Farm is there."
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
