The legislation outlines eight “divisive concepts” including discussions around conscious or subconscious racism and sexism, and whether “meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist” that are now prohibited.
The government is banning discussions. How is this not policing speech?
Anytime this woke bs dies the world becomes a better place
Agreed! Homogeneity, inequity, and exclusion are core principles of conservative America. Merit is the only means by which others should be judged, their achievements a testament to their productivity and usefulness. And if that means hiring less minorities and excluding lesser people who aren’t a good cultural fit because of “the system” or whatever, then so be it. The few that make it through will prove to everyone else that, if they submit to the grind, they too can succeed.

Are you really trying to imply minority groups have less merit? Do you want your surgeon to be merit based or diversity based? Do you want your pilots to be blind because they are underrepresented in airline pilots?
The reality is, boomers and their offspring for various reasons felt really horrible about how minorities were treated in western nations and about colonialism and slavery. They sought equal rights for POC & That’s good, but to abandon merit based systems of promotion and success is ridiculous. The best people should move forward in every situation. If A POC is the better than his white counter-part then so be it, everything should be equal opportunity not forced outcome based on skin color, gender, sexuality ect.

It’s soooo smart of Alabama to focus on this instead of improving their education system (5th worst in the country)
