Michael Sherlock, the latest executive director for Atheist Alliance International, has resigned from his position, and he’s going out in a blaze of disgrace.
After hiring an alleged sexual predator in 2019, only to have him resign months later, Sherlock was eventually brought on board to right the ship… and it didn’t go well.
He publicly called one critic a “cunt” and used the slur “retarded” in multiple tweets. (While there’s a definition of the word that means “slowed” or “delayed,” it was clear in context he meant the slur.) One major atheist group decided not to affiliate with AAI after seeing Sherlock’s behavior. AAI temporarily suspended him over the summer, perhaps hoping he’d be on his best behavior after that, but when you hire an edgelord, you can’t be shocked when nothing changes.
Seems to me that they're terrible at choosing their Directors, or terrible at admitting how terrible they are at choosing their Directors.
Either way, maybe I should submit my resume? I pretty much guarantee I won't call anyone a c---- on any kind of media, or even in person. (I mean, unless they're into that kind of thing.)
