Critical race theory training sessions in public agencies have pushed a deeply ideological agenda that includes reducing people to a racial essence, segregating them, and judging them by their group identity rather than individual character, behavior and merit. …
Whites share an inborn oppressive streak. “Whiteness,” employees are told, “includes white privilege and white supremacy.” …
Instructors wrote on a whiteboard that “white male culture” can be associated with “white supremacists,” “KKK,” “Aryan Nation,” “MAGA hat” and “mass killings.”…
Trainers taught Homeland Security employees that the “myth of meritocracy” and “color blindness” is a foundation of racist microaggressions and “microinequities.” The trainers insisted that statements such as “America is the land of opportunity,” “Everybody can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough,” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” are racist and harmful …
Progressive activists and their media enablers routinely manipulate words to conceal the truth: Violent riots have become “mostly peaceful protests” and “defund the police” has become “reimagine public safety.”

I attended several diversity training while working for the state of Wisconsin. Mainly they pointed out white privilege and how some of us have more privileges than others. The crowd was mostly white. One exercise had us take a quiz and get a privilege rating. Then we lined up so that everyone could see who had the most and least privilege in the room. I was glad that I wasn’t the poor white guy at the top of the food chain. I didn’t see the workshop as being that harmful, but it did invoke some guilt. I wanted to have less privilege than the next person.

Yes, Elder is terrific and S/B a calming influence. Along w/ Oh, So many black scholars and black leaders. Unfortunately, just like Thomas Sowell, they’ve been ignored by progressives B/C they do NOT fit their agenda. Over the years, these men and women have achieved success, as well as countless other Blacks in politics, academia, journalism, law and all aspects of employment. Contrary to popular belief, huge strides have been made over the last few decades. But only by folks who refuse to be “victims”. Diversity training and its correlative counterparts are an insult to those who enjoy their opportunities-and need/want no help by “victim” appropriation and SJW’s.

Pure BS. Programs were purchased or allowed as a sop to the complainers who had colored skins, but inadequate educational prep. Administrators wanted “something” to point to show each administrator had acted ethically to address disproportionality. It started by “critics” pointing to racial disparity in institutions. Disportionality became the measure of racism regardless realities.
Example: PGA and NHL are racist because of black/white ratio. Same for gender disparities, though the low-information, common mind ignored and accepted objective evidence to the contrary —> “Women’s” golf tee box; # of sets to win “Women’s Tennis” at all the majors (3 vs 5 for men); absence of women on NFL teams; size of girls basketball, etc.,
Just because the % of black nuclear engineers and physicists is far below 13%, schools that teach nuclear engineering falsely were charged to have racist entrance requirements. [ total BS ]
Institutional administrators gleefully welcomed CR Theorists’ programs for change to deflect criticism. By embracing CRT inservices, administrators could affirm their professional social responsibility. Most administrators were (and are) clueless about the history of racism. This explains their passivity to the revolutionary racist content of “remedial” CR employee programs.

I feel awful for anyone forced to sit through these as part of a job requirement. I’ve seen footage of classes where themes range from equating MAGA and policing with racism to “all white people are inherently evil.” Thrilled that President Trump banned this from being presented in federal courses.
I think most adults (at least those with average reasoning skills and self-esteem) can shrug this schlock off, but it’s surprising how many, including in their 50s, 60s, and older, feed into it.
More troubling is that this propaganda is being fed to impressionable school-age children. Can’t even begin to imagine what this is doing to their sense of self worth.

You are absolutely correct Heidi, and thanks for bringing that up; it led The Gotch to some rather interesting tidbits @theholocaustexplained.org.
Notice any parallels to today’s approach to indoctrication (sic)…?
(bolds/caps/italics mine throughout)
“Another way in which the Nazis aimed to indoctrinate the younger population was through reforming the education system.
“They aimed to de-intellectualise education: they DID NOT WANT EDUCATION TO PROVOKE PEOPLE TO ASK QUESTIONS OR THINK FOR THEMSELVES. They believed this approach would instill obedience and belief in the Nazi worldview, creating the ideal future generation.
“The Nazis first focused on changing WHAT students learned. They changed the core curriculum to emphasise sports, history and racial science as the most important subjects. In 1936, sport was taught for a minimum of two to three hours every school day. By 1938, this had been increased to five hours every day. Subjects such as religion became less important, and were eventually removed from the curriculum altogether.
“The Nazis also adapted WHERE the students learned from. They introduced new textbooks which were often racist, and promoted ideas such the need for Lebensraum. Any textbooks used to educate students had to be approved by the party.
“The Nazis also placed great emphasis on WHO the teachers were. Under the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service Act of 7 April 1933, just three months after Hitler became chancellor, all Jewish teachers, and TEACHERS_WITH_UNDESIRABLE_POLITICAL_BELIEFS (such as communists) WERE_DISMISSED.”

Yes, most adults, taken individually, would be able to shrug it off. But the fact that it’s being taught to GROUPS of adults means that it’s more likely to take hold since it’s harder for inidividuals to think or act outside the norms of the group. If every other white guy in your group is hanging his head in shame while being berated for his “white privilege,” it becomes much harder for you to stand up and say, “Go f**k yourself” to the the authority figure (in this case, the well-paid professional race-shamer). Same with kids in a classroom. And don’t forget the subgroup of white liberals for whom being publicly berated by a POC provides a psycho-sexual thrill like no other.
