The group plans to send letters this week to mutual-fund companies such as Vanguard, asking them to drop their holdings in Darden, said Richard Jones, a Midwestern representative for the National Action Network.

Darden has been guilty of these and much more for many years, yet preaches "diversity and dignity"-they got caught, and I thank you Al Sharpton. Mgrs for years were moved from restaurant to restaurant for their sexual behavior, which means Darden condones this type of behavior-that's not dignity. As for the illegals, I suggest you do a ss# check for ALL their concepts-the CEO just might be washing dishes for awhile, along with his other top execs who just turn their heads the other way! Someone of power finally caught them red-handed at their own tricks. Time to call the INS I say.
