(READ) Watchdog group exposes Critical Race Theory training materials in federal agency

Dated: March 5, 2022 by Sharyl Attkisson 4 Comments

      

The watchdog group Judicial Watch says it has receivedย 48 pagesย of records from the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which includes a training PowerPoint presentation titled โ€œRace and gender based microaggressions."

The documents were obtained in response to a Jan. 27, 2021 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request asking for:

  • All records of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) containing any of the following key words: โ€˜whitenessโ€™; โ€˜unconscious biasโ€™; โ€˜intersectionalityโ€™; โ€˜white privilegeโ€™; โ€˜Kendiโ€™; โ€˜Robin DiAngeloโ€™; โ€˜systemic racismโ€™; โ€˜structural racismโ€™; โ€˜close holdโ€™; โ€˜climate justiceโ€™; or โ€™critical race theoryโ€™
  • All CFPB records instructing or suggesting that any individuals or groups of people are fundamentally privileged, oppressive, oppressed, racist, or evil on account of their race; and 3.
  • All CFPB records instructing or suggesting that America is a fundamentally racist or evil country. 

The records include a presentation by the CFPBโ€™s Director of the Office of Civil Rights, Melissa Brand, titled โ€œRace and gender based microaggressions.โ€

The โ€œgoalsโ€ of the presentation include (as published):

  • To help you identify race and gender based microaggressions
  • To help you understand how microaggressions can turn into discrimination and/or unlawful harassment
  • To help you understand your role in preventing discrimination and harassment in the workplace
  • To help you know how to respond to these situations

A slide titled โ€œMicroaggressionsโ€ defines microaggressions as โ€œverbal and nonverbal behaviorsโ€ that โ€œcommunicate negative, hostile, and derogatory messages to people rooted in their marginalized group membership (based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc.)โ€

The slide further notes that microaggressions can be โ€œintentional or unintentional,โ€ and are โ€œmore subtleโ€ than โ€œusing racial epithets or displaying swastikas.โ€

In the appendix, slides titled โ€œExamples of racial microaggressions,โ€ include:

  • โ€œWhere are you from?โ€
  • โ€œWhere were you born?โ€
  • Asking an Asian American or Latino American to teach them words in their native language.
  • โ€œYou are so articulate.โ€
  • โ€œEveryone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough.โ€
  • Person of color is mistaken for a service worker
  • College or university with buildings that are all named after โ€˜Whiteโ€™ [sic] heterosexual upper class males
  • Overabundance of liquor stores in communities of color
  • A section featuring โ€œExamples of sex based microaggressions โ€“ aimed at females,โ€ includes: โ€œHave you been working out? You look good!!โ€ - โ€œYou have a doctorate?โ€ - Male colleagues interrupt women at meetings.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated the following in response to these documents:

โ€œFederal Agencies shouldnโ€™t abuse tax dollars for CRT indoctrination, which makes a mockery of serious race and sex discrimination issues. This document from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau shows critical race theory is alive and well in the Biden administration.โ€

    I consider CRT propaganda as a "microaggression." When do we activate a class action lawsuit?
    Perhaps we can coin a new term- "Macro-aggression?" As in: when the deep swamp uses our tax dollars to hoodwink We US citizens.

    Interesting that the proponents of CRT insist we change for them but there is no mention of them changing for those who believe otherwise. So very divisive.

      well for us to change to your side, we'd have to begin hating ourselves for the color of our skin and want things to revert to the good ol' days when you could freely hang us without retribution or reprisal in too many cases. Think about what you're saying and read more than the internet, please all of America. Love is the answer, and your clinging to the 20th century is very Russian of you.
