Custom Wristband CEO Donates Proceeds from Massive “Debunk Evolution” Order to Pro-Science Group [View all]

RapidWristbands is one of those companies that makes custom wristbands for anyone who wants them. And that means anyone.

Recently, CEO Fiyyaz Pirani got an order from a Creationist ministry that wanted the message “Debunk Evolution” on a whopping 100,000 wristbands. (Who knows where they were going to hand those out.)

Pirani had no legal right to say no to them; it’s not like this was hate speech. But, as someone who understands science, he was conflicted.

So he decided the company wouldn’t keep the profits:
