J.C. Penney President Francis Resigns

By: American Decency Staff

Last week we urged you to email J.C. Penney.  You remember don’t you?  It was entitled:  Seriously? J.C. Penneys Father’s Day homosexual ad

Our email read (in part):

Yes, seriously.  The once trusted J.C. Penney has turned its back upon their core consumers:  people who believe that adultery and homosexuality and same sex marriage go against the Creator God –  the God of the Bible.

J.C. Penney thinks people like you don’t care about God’s loving and holy standards of the Bible.

As we sent this out I wondered,  isn’t there someone there at Penney’s headquarters that yet has a conscience – a concern for what God thinks about such evil, such blatant wickedness?

I was therefore shocked when our staff showed me an article stating:
J.C. Penney President Francis resigns – effective immediately.
It was unexpected.  He had only been with JC Penney since October. He was hired to turn the faltering company around. Now he’s suddenly gone.

We wish no ill will toward him or any individual.   We also hope and will pray that he experienced a deep regret at the appalling direction the once great J.C. Penney corporation has gone.

Make no mistake.  Their chief executive (whom you emailed to last week) was also hired as a turn-around wizard.   He is not oblivious to J.C. Penney’s Father’s Day homosexual ad campaign.  That’s for sure.

Here’s the article referenced above:

After just eight months, JC Penney (JCP: 21.94, -2.39, -9.82%) said its president, Michael Francis, will be leaving the company, effective immediately.

Chief executive Ron Johnson will assume direct responsibility and oversight of the company’s marketing and merchandising functions.

The retailer, which has been undergoing a major overhaul, did not say why Francis suddenly resigned, and it did not immediately respond to FOXbusiness.com for a comment.

“We thank Michael for his hard work at JC Penney and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” Johnson said in a brief statement released late on Monday.

JC Penney nabbed (Francis) from Target (TGT: 58.27, -0.20, -0.34%) in October, where he was a 21-year veteran and last served as the retail chain’s chief marketing officer. He was lured to JC Penney to help revamp the third-largest U.S. department-store chain shortly after Johnson was appointed as CEO.

Shares of Plano, Texas-based JC Penney were down more than 5% to $23.09 after hours. They had closed the session down 2.25% to $24.33.

So far, the retailer’s highly-anticipated overhaul has largely been viewed as a flop. Last month, JC Penney reported an 18.9% drop in same-store sales.
