      Critical race theory is spreading rapidly through the federal government. Last week, a whistleblower sent me a trove of documents about a divisive "diversity training" at the Treasury Department. What I discovered is deeply disturbing—and an affront to equality. Buckle up. 🧵

      The training is called "Difficult Conversations about Race" and calls on white employees at Treasury, Federal Reserve, FDIC, CFPB, and NCUA to pledge "allyship amid the George Floyd Tragedy." The goal is explicit: to convert "everyone in the federal government" to "antiracism."pic.twitter.com/BT0PUydLYz

      To begin, the trainers set the ground rules: they claim that "virtually all White people contribute to racism" and insist that white employees must "struggle to own their racism" and accept their "unconscious bias, White privilege, and White fragility."pic.twitter.com/Rl96xEsnML

      Next, the trainers recommend "White managers" create "safe spaces" for "listening sessions," where black employees can explain "what it means to be Black" and be "seen in their pain." White employees must not "fill the silence with [their] own thoughts and feelings."pic.twitter.com/zp7YVOryP8

      The trainers insist that whites hold "fairly consistent narratives about race" that "don't support the dismantling of racist institutions." They claim the expressions "we should be more color-blind" and "we've made so much progress from the 60s" are in fact racist statements.pic.twitter.com/Ka3jQIxoEv

      Employees are then asked to think obsessively about race throughout their daily lives: What is the racial mix of your ten closest friends? What percentage of the day are you able to be with people of your own race? How much of your day are you speaking about racism?pic.twitter.com/Ej9eaA0jM7

      The trainers tell white employees they must "provide unconditional solidarity" for people of color. Whites "don't get to decide when someone is being too emotional, too rash, [or] too mean" and cannot protest if a POC "responds to their oppression in a way [they] don't like."pic.twitter.com/PnAuqiKOxC

      What if a white employee disagrees? They will be told that "white silence has been one of the most powerful detractors from real progress in social justice" and that whites must "sit in the discomfort" of their own internalized racism and white supremacy.pic.twitter.com/ugmxYFVOUC

          During the training session, white employees are warned that "this is not the place to get [their] feelings validated." The trainers tell them that people of color are not "obligated to like you, thank you, feel sorry for you, or forgive you."pic.twitter.com/D22Qoy1dSX

          So who is teaching the course? This man, Howard J. Ross, who has billed the federal government $5 million for diversity trainings over the past 15 years on topics including "white supremacy," "white privilege," and "white fragility.pic.twitter.com/J4T8swE8ok

          In 2011 alone, Howard Ross billed the General Services Administration $3 million for diversity training and billed NASA $500,000 for "power and privilege sexual orientation workshops."pic.twitter.com/KXeWBlATu2

          Let's be clear: Ross is a taxpayer-funded charlatan. He has packaged racialist pseudoscience and "used his privilege" to secure massive federal "diversity and inclusion" contracts. In the language of his own discourse, he is monetizing black pain to make personal profit.pic.twitter.com/ANlo1fSa9S

          Sadly, the diversity-hustle hasn't stopped with the Trump administration. Ross has done many federally-funded trainings since 2016, teaching the latest academic theories on "white supremacy" and encouraging federal workers to attend the annual "White Privilege Conference."pic.twitter.com/9U2e8raNEn

          This will not end in the workplace. At the end of the session, the trainers tell employees to "talk to your children about race," because children become racist "around 3 years old." Ultimately, this is "only the beginning of a lifelong education about anti-Black racism."pic.twitter.com/mB4YOmgdSy

          To stop this, we must call this out for what it is: racism masquerading as antiracism. President Trump should immediately issue an executive order banning federal contracts that teach the toxic principles of critical race theory, race essentialism, and neo-segregationism. /end

          This passage literally lists for white people which thoughts are okay to have, with the heavy implication that ONLY these thoughts are okay to have. Good God.
