Wokeism at Work: How “Critical Theory” and Anti-Racism Train…
Following the death of George Floyd, books such as White Fragility rose on bestseller lists and “anti-racist” training programs saw an enormous increase in demand in business America and governments at all levels, and ideas like “unconscious bias” and “internalized racial superiority” found their way into everyday discussion. What is the origin of Critical Race Theory that informs much of this training and what are its objectives? And, will this new type of identity politics truly recover our country? Join us for a conversation on the pervasive patterns that, under the guise of equality, make variety training in government, business America, and schools pernicious, dissentious, and devastating.
