SCOOP: Three Seattle-area government agencies are now holding racially-segregated diversity training programs.

I've obtained exclusive whistleblower documents that expose this shocking new policy, which could be described as "segregation for social justice."

Let's dig in. 🧵

The King County Prosecutor recently implemented a new policy requiring employees to sign an "equity and social justice" pledge and assigning “continued training for white employees,” who must “accept responsibility for their own racism” and “question the White power structure.”

The King County Library System hired a private firm to conduct racially-segregated "listening sessions" to root out “institutional privileges and systemic inequities embedded in the current socio-political conditions.” They claimed to have found widespread "institutional racism."

The Veterans Administration Puget Sound is now hosting racially-segregated "caucuses" for employees labeled "white," "Black," and "people of color." These segregated training programs are still in operation, in direct violation of the president's recent executive order.

The organizer of the sessions initially “felt uncomfortable suggesting, as a white person, what [he] perceived, at the time, to be segregation.” But he moved forward because “it can be challenging for people of color to feel a burden to educate others on how to be better.”

The irony is cutting: Seattle’s white elites are reviving the shameful policy of racial segregation in the name of "social justice." The underlying assumption of these policies—that white leaders must shield minorities from open dialogue—is deeply patronizing and divisive.

@TheJusticeDept

I call on @TheJusticeDept to immediately open an investigation into the racially-segregated training programs at the King County Prosecutor's Office, King County Library System, and Veterans Administration Puget Sound.

Segregation is wrong—past, present, and future.

Seattle is heading for trouble.

Amazon is moving thousands of jobs out of the city and nearby Microsoft is going permanent work-from-home—and yet, Seattle's political class insists on punishing businesses with new taxes.

Get ready for the realignment. theverge.com/2020/10/9/2150…

Prediction: tech employees with families are going to move out of the prestige cities (SF, SEA, NYC) and engage in "lifestyle arbitrage": maintaining top-wage employment, while significantly reducing cost of living by moving to cheaper cities and states.

For years, woke mayors and city councils have assumed that tech companies would provide an endless stream of cash for their social justice projects.

Now they're scrambling to figure out how to build utopia in an era of declining municipal budgets.

Spoiler: it won't end well.

VICTORY: The President has just signed a full Executive Order abolishing critical race theory from the federal government, the military, and all federal contractors.

The president has effectively declared war on CRT—and extended the battlefield to all of our institutions.

🧵

To begin, the president explains that our nation was founded on the ideal that "all mean are created equal" and denounces critical race theory's "pernicious and false belief that America is an irredeemably racist and sexist country."

The President writes that the "malign ideology" of critical race theory "is now migrating from the fringes of American society and threatens to infect core institutions of country." He cites my original reporting on the Treasury Department, Argonne National Labs, and Sandia Labs.

Last weekend, I took my oldest son on a 48-hour train journey from Seattle to Chicago. I wanted him to see the vast beauty of the American interior—and to toughen him up with some hard travel.

Here are some snapshots. 🧵

We started going through the forests and mountains of Washington State, Idaho, and Western Montana.

Then we descended into the endless plains of Eastern Montana and North Dakota. We saw cattle ranches, oil fields, and 250-person towns. It's amazing that this harsh landscape can even human sustain life.

The State Department, EPA, and VA are moving forward with critical race theory trainings—in violation of a presidential order.

The agencies are pressuring staff to denounce their "white privilege," become "co-resistors" against "systemic racism," and sign "equity pledges."

🧵

PART 1

The State Department is moving forward with a "21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge," in which staff are asked to recite a racial equity "pledge," "select a different minority group daily," and engage in a "10-15 minute challenge" in "pursuit of racial equity."

To begin, the State Department tells employees to provide "emotional validation" for the George Floyd riots, which were caused by "cumulative grief." They specify that "looting" is "not endorsed," but rationalize it as an action of "the child who is not embraced by the village."

The president is denouncing critical race theory on national television—and elevating this intellectual fight into a major campaign theme.

The battle-lines are drawn: we can embrace the principles of 1776 or the principles of 1619.

@CDCgov

BOMBSHELL: The @CDCgov is moving forward with a critical race theory training program—in violation of @POTUS' executive action.

I've obtained leaked documents that outline the CDC's plan to "examine the mechanisms of systemic racism" and address "White supremacist ideology."

🧵

The 13-week series is called "Naming, Measuring, and Addressing the Impacts of Racism on the Health and Well-Being of the Nation and the World." I have obtained the internal emails (in white) and an APHA presentation by the series instructor that follows same structure (in blue).

The first three training sessions are focused on "racism, sexism, and other systems of structured inequality," then teaching CDC employees that they must "address institutionalized racism" to "really set things right in the garden" of a racist nation.
