The Trump administration finally took a stand against the left’s encroachment into the bureaucracy with their social justice propaganda. The administration has decided to stop “critical race theory” and other controversial training in federal agencies.
The director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, wrote a memo to agencies informing them of President Trump‘s decision to stop using controversial forms of training on “critical race theory,” “white privilege” and “any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either…that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or…that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.”
President Trump tweeted about the propaganda, stating: “This is a sickness that cannot be allowed to continue. Please report any sightings so we can quickly extinguish!”
The memo also discussed the amount of funding that this training receives: “It has come to the President’s attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date ‘training’ government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda.”
In the memo, Vought discussed reports of employees of the executive branch being taught that “virtually all White people contribute to racism” and that it is a racist idea to believe that America is a land of opportunity.
“These types of ‘trainings’ not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce,” said Vought.
Recently, Christopher Rufo, a Discovery Institute researcher, told Tucker Carlson on Fox News that “critical race theory” had become a default ideology within the federal government.

Giving an example, Rufo discussed the fact that Sandia National Laboratories, which designs nuclear weapons, had held a mandatory retreat for employees which was titled “White Men’s Caucus on Eliminating Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia in Organizations.”
Earlier this year, the federally-created National Museum for African American History and Culture was criticized heavily for publishing a graphic that referred to things like the nuclear family, the concept of time, and decision-making as “whiteness”. After intense backlash, the museum removed the graphic.
Those who support the training state that it can help eliminate bias in government. M.E. Hart, an attorney who conducts diversity training classes for businesses and the federal government, said that the training can improve morale, cooperation, and efficiency.
Hart stated: “If we are going to live up to this nation’s promise — ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’ — we have to see each other as human beings, and we have to do whatever it takes, including taking whatever classes make that possible. These classes have been very powerful in allowing people to do that, and we need them more than ever. There’s danger here.”
How can disparaging an entire race of people create equality, or help the United States live up to its promise that we are all created equal? The president sees through the lies and the propaganda, and is trying to put a stop to it.
Our Constitution has been set up specifically to address equality for all. This nation has worked for years and has successfully repaired the damage done by racism without these physic babble that comes from leftists who are continually trying to figure out ways to race bait and create goofy programs to further inflame and incite fake problems. The fact is racial inequality has gone the other way, allowing for reverse discrimination by the knee jerkers who use it to their advantage. These so called classes in diversity are a waste of time and resources and only create another layer of intimidation and bureaucratic nonsense costing the government and businesses more time and money.
Here, Here. Nicely put.
Pres Trump stopping this liberal racist indoctrination is great. Every time I have seen references to this type of “training”, I have felt that they only add fuel to racism. Gene
Not that I think he was a good guy, as its a fact that he was a sexual degenerate and pervert, abuser of women, plagiarist, and overall not to be admired as a person, but since he’s a paragon of the “Civil Rights Movement”, MLK’s quote is relevant to this conversation, that his dream was that people be judged “by the content of their character”, rather than the color of their skin.
And White America has lived up to that promise. We really have. We have actually gone way overboard in that effort. We instituted race-blind policies, to eliminate race from considerations in public affairs, and in private affairs. While at the same time overcompensating and engaging in racial discrimination via Affirmative Action, in order to attempt to swing the pendulum of both imagined and real racial injustices in the other direction. And in doing so, we have again betrayed our own values and greatly infringed on various other civil liberties protected under the Bill of Rights, for example the guarantee of the right of freedom of association (which must include the right to NOT associate), the right to freedom of speech and expression, and the right to practice religion without restraint, and others.
And what we have discovered from our last 60 years of committing to the pledges made in the spirit of racial fairness, is that we have judged the content of the character of people and found many of them to be lacking.
It turns out that most White Americans have no respect for people of poor character; we despise thieves, abusers, violent persons, and anti-social behaviors in general. We believe that hip-hop culture is in fact an assemblage of nothing more than negative character traits, such as a disturbing tendency towards committing and celebrating drug abuse, low education or a rejection of education, degenerate sexual behavior, a disregard for the traditional morals and values of the family unit, and a variety of crimes from the trivial to the appalling, all delivered through obnoxiously contrived performative media, with crude imagery and language.
In other words, Black America has been judged on the content of its character. That character comes through in the daily shootings of blacks, by other blacks, in Democrat enclaves around the nation. It comes through in the disproportionate criminality in which Blacks engage, leading to their disproportionate contact with law enforcement and the criminal justice system. It comes through in their academic achievement gap, and in their inability to form stable nuclear families that can transmit American values effectively. The blacks seem to strive to remind everyone that they are in this country, but not a part of the nation. This comes through in their hyphenated Americanism, their obsession with othering themselves, the inability to ever be satisfied, and the Knockout Game. It comes through in Michelle Obama’s comment that she had never been proud of America until her husband was elected to the presidency. This from a black person who attended Ivy League schools, who never had a hard day’s labor in her life, who lived a comfortable lifestyle as a top 5% income-earner and yet complained about her student loan burden while raking in 5-10x what the average White American family earns.
It comes through in the racist and/or militant organizations that Blacks maintain, such as the NAACP, BLM, The Black Panthers, The Nation of Islam, the Black Hebrew Israelites, the street gangs, and the constant and relentless playing of “the race card”.
The blacks are gaslighting us all. We’ve done what MLK dreamed. They just didn’t like the outcome.
