Consumers' Research, an advocacy group, has panned the Connecticut-based firm for picking suppliers based on their race, and funding LGBTQ lobbying in Washington.

The company, which is behind such brands as DeWalt, Black and Decker, and Stanley, joins a growing list of firms to come under pressure from conservatives over policies seen by many as 'woke.'

We'll see. As I wrote earlier, corporate-board support for these initiatives seems to be rapidly collapsing in corporate America. I'm more of a Ryobi guy when it comes to power tools (to the extent I buy them at all), but these are huge brands that probably can't afford to go niche on the coasts.
