Wise decision, A&E. In the future, try not to bite the hand that feeds you.
A&E caves- #DuckDynasty "not a show ab 1 man's views. It resonates w/ a large audience bc it is a show ab family." Large audience=$$$.

Update:
From A&E’s official statement:
But Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man’s views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about family… a family that America has come to love. As you might have seen in many episodes, they come together to reflect and pray for unity, tolerance and forgiveness. These are three values that we at A+E Networks also feel strongly about.
So after discussions with the Robertson family, as well as consulting with numerous advocacy groups, A&E has decided to resume filming Duck Dynasty later this spring with the entire Robertson family.

We will also use this moment to launch a national public service campaign (PSA) promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people, a message that supports our core values as a company, and the values found in Duck Dynasty. These PSAs will air across our entire portfolio.
“Tolerance”? Uh-oh …
"Going to work together to promote tolerance in the future," for Christians I would hope….what a joke http://t.co/ZnLsV8HsPs
