Reporting this story, I heard near universal concern from Heritage staff of discrimination against unmarried women.
Then I obtained a letter to the Heritage board from anonymous staffers that alleged the same thing — and more.
Heritage is aware that alleged behavior could create legal trouble.

Ben Shapiro tells Megyn Kelly that to avoid vile extremists like Nick Fuentes “the first thing people need to do is turn off X, which is poisoning brains and making people think not true things.” Yet, Shapiro continues to post there, often multiple times a day. youtu.be/tprng5mObQg?...
