Quote:
For example, according to press reports, employees across the Executive Branch have
been required to attend trainings where they are told that "virtually all White people contribute to
racism" or where they are required to say that they "benefit from racism." According to press
reports, in some cases these training have further claimed that there is racism embedded in the
belief that America is the land of opportunity or the belief that the most qualified person should
receive a job.
I would think that if there were specific programs where this happened, the memo would name them, or at least refer to actual programs. The memo was not sent to you and me. It was sent within the executive branch, and cites "press reports" as the evidence that this is happening. The stereotyped vision we have of Trump from some parts of the media is that he gets most of his information from watching TV. I don't know if that's true, but I wish his own office would not send out memos that reinforce that image. Because it's plausible and discouraging.
