HB 29.27 Discriminatory Training Ban (Failed)

[lfromnj]

This uses concepts from the IRL WV bill although it still allows contractors and some other concepts to exist. Overall would prevent federal workers from feeling harrased by woke agents. This would not ban all diversity training, for example something like this would still clearly be permitted but what the employees desired may not be permitted.

In a diversity and inclusion training for Free Library of Philadelphia staff last week, a presenter told the nearly 200 attendees to avoid terms like white supremacy and systemic racism because they were overused, distracted from solutions, and focused on just one race. White privilege — which she called “one of the other myths out there” — was another to avoid.

This kind of language, Brandi Baldwin, a Black diversity consultant, told the staff, didn’t account for the fact that people of color, too, could cause harm.

Is this training currently used by the federal government?

Generally its more common at the local level, in education or similar, but its not completely redundant.
