No, and that's my point. It was just diversity training.Well did you learn about "Critical Race Theory" on the courses you went to?

Maybe more companies should just get rid of woke employees?
So are you saying that people never get taught CRT on diversity courses?No, and that's my point. It was just diversity training.
I guess we have to define the term CRT as I don't feel I'm an expert in that area.So are you saying that people never get taught CRT on diversity courses?

Well I already gave to a Wiki link to this!I guess we have to define the term CRT as I don't feel I'm an expert in that area.
Fair enough. This goes back to my point regarding the implementation of Trump's executive action as it relates to government contractors. Who's drawing the line on whether a contractor's diversity training program is or is not CRT? I think that's a huge challenge.Well I already gave to a Wiki link to this!
If it is really necessary to teach white employees about the need to treat non-white people the same as everyone else, fine - but the point is that the concept of CRT goes way beyond that.

Well don't you think that all the people who have blurred the line between simply respecting others of a different race, and CRT should really take responsibility for this?Fair enough.

Why have soft skills training of any variety in industry then David? A lot of it tends to be of the "stuff you should already know" variety if you choose to look at it that way. Team building, customer service skills, etc. Sort of applies to any form of reinforcement training which is a regular discipline for people in all walks of life. Do professional athletes really need to be taught how to work out for example? Sure, some of that training introduces new skills (e.g., exercises in this example) but a lot of it is focused on honing existing skills/knowledge through repetition and reinforcement.Well don't you think that all the people who have blurred the line between simply respecting others of a different race, and CRT should really take responsibility for this?
Did you feel you really needed to go to a lecture to be told this?
I remember when I had to manage software developers, some of whom where non-white, I found myself bending over the other way - letting non-white developers get away with stuff that I should have stopped, but didn't want to because it might have been seen as racist. I can't see that going on any of those courses would have helped me.

You are still slithering around the point. Why would any organisation take on board CRT if its only aim was to ensure that all its workers respected each other. What is the point in CRT? It is no use discussing whether DT made the distinction between these two kinds of training. It is not as if K9 hasn't given you enough evidence for the the problem, and I gave you the Wiki link that explains CRT.Why have soft skills training of any variety in industry then David?

Again, I don't see any sort of pejorative element to the diversity training I've been personally exposed to while working at 3 Fortune 500 firms in my past. Maybe times have changed and my experience isn't representative. Obviously, I can't speak to that but I haven't seen anyone here provide any first hand examples either.
