Trump's clampdown on 'divisive' race training could weaken sexual harassment training, too
Thankfully this order will be nonexistent soon.
An executive order by President Trump designed to prevent white people from feeling uncomfortable during workplace racial sensitivity classes could also hamper employers' ability to stave off sexual harassment lawsuits, opponents of the order say
Taking a cue from a Fox News segment, last month Trump cracked down on federally funded employers pushing beliefs that “America is an irredeemably racist and sexist country” and “that some people, simply on account of their race or sex, are oppressors.” The president has said he was rankled by taxpayer dollars being used to promote critical race theory, a school of thought that racism runs deep in the American legal system and its institutions.
His broadly worded order, however, appears to forbid any training that could cause a white male to think he bears responsibility for past oppression or that he may be unconsciously racist or sexist.
