The National MS Society shockingly fired 90 year old Fran Itkoff - a widow, former MS caregiver, & decorated 60 year veteran volunteer of their organization. Here’s what happened.
I find this shocking. From watching the video interview Fran Itkoff is clearly a very determined, resilient and intelligent woman. But this MS volunteer work has been her life. Her actual LIFE. What might happen if you tear the meaning of life away from a 90 year old woman, if you devalue and deny the service she has given? For someone less resilient than Fran I would guess that you might be increasing her risk of dying near term. I pray that Fran triumphs in this war and lives to 120 to see this hateful ideology defeated.
Dear Gero Doc….. Thank you very much for highlighting the story of this wonderful woman, Fran Itkoff….. both in this article and on X. I know that it won’t happen, but the MS Society should fire Kali Kumor (the woke loser) and issue a public apology to Fran. - Best regards, Marcy
Thank you for listening. Fran appears to be, by all accounts - a saint. And the National MS Society threw her & her 60 year stellar career helping others into the garbage.
Marcy- While I absolutely agree that firing the volunteer is a very misguided decision that has taken the respect of personal pronouns way out of sync with the purpose behind it, I am not sure why you would refer to Kali Kumor as a “woke loser”. Who, in your opinion, gets put into the woke loser category?
Thank you for shedding light on this. I hadn’t heard about it and appreciate this kind of reporting.
What cruel and unusual punishment in the name of wokism. Though not a charity I support (I’ve withdrawn my contributions to the ones requiring any kind of mandate, jab or otherwise), I may let the MS Society know that I will never endow them or their ilk.
The woke may be well educated and intelligent but they have sh-t for brains. I for the most part have stopped donating to most charities and all universities.

Over… pronouns.
It’s unbelievable

It’s disgusting “policy” and behavior.

Another very sad tale of DEI/Wokeness gone bad. I used to donate to the MS Society. Never again.
Mad clown world! the strange suicide of the west, the land and the people of reason, science, humanism turned now in post transBS.
