Three civil rights groups have filed a federal class-action lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's recent executive order banning certain diversity trainings — saying it violates guarantees of free speech, equal protection and due process.

encouraging"employees and other concerned members of the public" to ask questions or complain about diversity training they find offensive or potentially unlawful, for possible investigation. The hotline has received more than 140 responses in the five weeks since it was set up.

Her apprehension proved justified. It wasn't long after the order was issued that she heard from a concerned corporate client, asking Kim to review her materials to ensure they did not include any of the prohibited concepts. Still, Kim says, damage has been done:"Instead of us being focused on actually fighting racism and being anti-racist, now we are scrambling to figure out the legal ramifications of it. I think in many ways the executive order has succeeded in creating that distraction."

"I didn't believe that any of our clients would be fazed by this," Emerson says."I was like, 'This is clearly propaganda. It's fascist propaganda. It's a dog whistle to Trump's base, and organizations that care about diversity, equity and inclusion are going to be just as offended by this order as we are.' And I was wrong."

this looks like an essay where you used the cliff notes and never read the book. Due diligence; reading and reporting the actual content of the executive order instead of parroting other's claims.

Ah, it's Critical Race Theory that was banned, because it's racist.

It’s not “diversity training,” it’s illegal race and sex discrimination based on Critical Theory.

I hate to say this but Trump is right on this one. This “diversity” training is nonsense created by a bunch of hustlers. And I think Trump is a grifter moron. Must be why he can smell the shit they are peddling. Takes one to know one.

I'm just going to leave this here:

Diversity is perversity. Ask a lib.

If Democrats have both the Senate and the House we won’t need the Supreme Court so much for our most important cases

The only boy constant in 🇺🇸 is 💩

We don’t need training for people to be racist against white folks.

The diversity trainings in question were making assumptions about white people just because of the color of their skin. That is racist. You can’t judge a person based on skin color. You judge them on the “content of their character “

We will need a ruling on what is diversity training b/c I saw a part of one of the sessions and it was basically white bashing aclu

Calling it diversity training is a blatant lie. Call it what it is, divisionism, racism, and segregation training. Liberals, bringing Jim Crow back.

GOOD!

'Diversity trainings' are just a facade for indoctrinating weak minded white people that they are irredeemably and inherently bad. No one likes them. They are presented in a condescending, militant manner that is literally the opposite of unifying or good.

What a joke. Why don't these so called civil rights group waste their money somewhere productive, e.g. the civil sector not government sector.

California's public education system is a massive failure, and even its once-great colleges are now burdened by the stupidities of political correctness, including an unwillingness to use standardized testing.

I am not a trump fan. And I am not a fan of your bs CRT

We can’t have diversity.

They are upset they can’t teach hate to a captive audience.

fails to note that 'certain diversity trainings' means a return to Jim Crow:

Hardly 'diversity ' training when you people like DrIbram , RobinDiAngelo and nhannahjones in charge of curriculum

Thank you for this!

Clarence Ferrell RoundingTheCurb the Big Lie. Only His low intelligence supporters believe that. Listening to most Trump's supporters explain why they will vote for him, ignorance, denial, low I.Q. and Racism, is what guides them.

Critical Race Theory is evil. Watch this video from a Smith College employee.

And THIS says America, in which the LGBT has more rights than Getero? Pf .. Come to your senses ... Noobs

Another BS 'lawsuit'.

Hate speech is a protected right now?

The government has every right to control in-service training offered by its own agencies.

Since when do the Democrats and especially NPR give a crap about free speech republicans are about free-speech democrats are about FREE LIES

These lawsuits will break like waves against the shore. Democrats are going to drop the ball on appointing judges and it looks like we're going to pay the price for this. Hopefully our institutions will hold in place long enough to fix it. fixthecourt

they aren't going to like the results once more people see what the curriculum of these 'trainings' are.
