Stop. Seriously, all you social justice warriors, just stop.
Salem County is making news over a tempest in a teapot that is, unfortunately, being treated like a scandal by journalists. Stacy Pennington is the Salem County Deputy Administrator. She also performs the service of board of commissioners clerk and director of human resources as well as equal employment opportunity officer. Instead of being grateful for all Pennington is doing some are seeing fit to attack her over the most benign, silliest Cinco de Mayo joke.
She sent an email to all employees with a harmless joke in the form of a meme that said Happy Cinco de Mayo and it showed a sink with a jar of mayonnaise sitting in it.

A union representing Salem County workers is demanding an apology and diversity training after they say a county official circulated a culturally insensitive meme to employees.
On May 5, Salem County Deputy Administrator Stacy Pennington sent a message via her county email account to all employees that contained a meme with the words “Happy Cinco De Mayo” and a photo of a jar of mayonnaise in a sink, according to a grievance filed by Joe Hiles, executive vice president of Communication Workers of America Local 1085.
Employees, public weren’t told about COVID-19 outbreak that killed election worker, NAACP says
Updated Dec 10, 2020;
The head of the Salem County chapter of the NAACP says that county workers and the general public weren’t notified about a COVID-19 outbreak at the county board of elections that has claimed a life.
County officials confirmed Monday that one worker died as a result of the outbreak that began last month. In all, 17 confirmed cases were tied to the outbreak.
NAACP Chapter President Nelson Carney Jr. described the man who died as a good friend and an executive committee member with the local NAACP, but declined to identify him for privacy reasons.
