this is a joke and the House might as well just disband and never show up to work again, if they pass this, the speaker should've just declared this frivolous and never brought it to the floor.

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.

yes banning gender equality training protects people from "woke agents," which is just Newsmax buzzwords, what a logical conclusion...

It has been our strategy to be rather hesistant to pull the trigger when it comes to such procedures because it can be arbitrary and second of all, there are many cases where a bill can be amended to a better territory.

In fact the most times this process was used dealt with something that was already done or directly conflicted with a previous bill or was directly unconstitutional, in which case the sponsor could and did in fact reoffer such as an amendment in the most recent example.

People are not born to view things a certain way because of unchangeable aspects of their identity, they develop such as a result of conditioning by virtue of the environment in which they are raised and educated.

There are ways to do diversity training without being just another form of racist yourself.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I'll work on something like this at the Southern regional level.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

This is a frivolous bill and the Speaker should not allow it on the floor

[Dr. MB]

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. 

[Harvey Updyke Jr🌹]

Lol this is the second joke of a bill in like 24 hours. GTFO.

[Dr. MB]

Anyone have anything further to add here?

Aye

[S019]

Lincoln made a mistake passing this, I urge Congress not to make the same mistake and force this misguided policy on the good people of the South and Fremont

[Sirius_]

Aye

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Lincoln made a mistake passing this, I urge Congress not to make the same mistake and force this misguided policy on the good people of the South and Fremont

I'm gonna force it on the good people of the South so hard!  

[Joseph Cao]

Despite what LT's inner troll would like you to think, the bill clearly states that this applies only to federal agencies. The South and Frémont are very welcome to pass their own policies on this as Lincoln has done.

Aye.

[Talleyrand]

NAY

I understand the intent behind this, but the bill as written could be interpreted in a way that would eliminate all diversity trainings.

[Dr. MB]

Also voting nay. I'm a little worried about the potential implications of this and it could be interpreted to crack down on free speech in work settings.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Nay

[Continential]
