PATRIOT POST
— Biden’s Unconstitutional Workplace Indoctrination Scheme. The idea isn’t to foster debate. It’s used only to indoctrinate and compel acquiescence. – BETSY MCCAUGHEY
https://patriotpost.us/opinion/80979-bidens-unconstitutional-workplace-indoctrination-scheme-2021-06-30
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you’re white and work for the federal government, get ready to be labelled a racist, regardless of how fair and open-minded you are. On Friday, President Joe Biden ordered all federal agencies to ramp up workplace training on “systemic and institutional racism” and “implicit and unconscious bias.” Those are buzzwords for critical race theory, which holds that all whites are biased against people of color, even if unconsciously. Under this theory, throughout American history and continuing now, whites oppress Blacks and need to acknowledge their guilt. Assume you work in an office with people of several races and, until now, you worked pretty smoothly as a team. Then you and your co-workers undergo mandated critical race theory training. Whites will be ridiculed as racists, and if they try to deny that, they’ll be told their denials are proof of their unconscious bias and “white fragility.” Black employees will understandably question if they can even trust their white co-workers and if they all have the same goals. Critical race theory is a disaster for workplace morale. Expect an avalanche of lawsuits challenging Biden’s efforts to saturate the federal workplace with this divisive doctrine. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 — still the law of the land, Mr. President — bars employers from allowing a toxic work environment. Federal regulation defines a toxic work environment as permitting “intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put downs” based on race, religion, age or other distinctions. That’s exactly what goes on in these training sessions. No one should have to put up with being called a racist as a condition of their employment.)

— Blame (DIERSEN: Who blames you and for what? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I should write a book about them. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. I would focus on unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct 2000, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on those who I have sued.)

They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. Starting in 1966, when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used my avoiding the draft against me big time. I should write a book about that.)
