To follow up from the other day.....................
An engineer working for a Hasbro contractor has reportedly been pulled from the job by his employer after blowing the whistle on the toy maker's critical race theory training.

The whistleblower, David Johnson, told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity he was suspended from working on the Hasbro account as of Monday while an investigation is conducted.
"Your access has been suspended for the moment while the company investigates some sort of issue of breach confidentiality," Jason Pyle, president of IT contractor Harvey Nash, reportedly told Johnson.
Johnson, who is black, first spoke with Project Veritas earlier this month about the company training.
"[Hasbro is] attempting to covertly push CRT, Critical Race Theory, through branding and messaging through their products," Johnson said. "I decided to come to Project Veritas because I oppose the indoctrination of children they wanted to push."
An organization called The Conscious Kid, which describes itself as "an education, research, and policy organization dedicated to equity and promoting healthy racial identity development in youth," provided the training for Hasbro workers.
Johnson said he came forward because he found the training insidious.
"I felt parents really needed to know what was happening," Johnson said.
Katie Ishizuka-Stephens, a co-founder of The Conscious Kid, said in a video revealed by Johnson that little children display racist behavior.
"Children as young as 2 are already using race to reason about people's behaviors, and we may see this play out in daycare or on the playground and how kids are starting to choose or exclude playmates and friends," Ishizuka-Stephens said on the video.
"At the age of 5, children show many of the same racial attitudes held by adults. Children are really sensitive to the status of different racial groups in our society and show a high-status bias towards white people, which is the socially privileged group in our society. White children show pro-white bias at this age," the video continued.
Johnson said he believes the premise of the training is "absurd."
"Two-year-old racists is just an absurd concept," Johnson said. "They explain that the white children, in particular, have the particular bias against black people. It's a mainstream ideology now."
The training was always optional for employees and never mandatory, Hasbro said in a statement responding to Johnson's allegations.

Can't wait for the outcome of this one.
I can wait, this has become boring and turning it over to Project Veritas Theorists is only going to turn a spoon of mud into a bucket of sludge. Anyhoot, CRT v. PVT will probably play well in certain mindsets ... maybe give birth to a 'new' cable channel ... SpinZoneTV? My head hurts.
Hal leans over and pours Lux a ladle of Scotch.
So rather than react to all of the flags on this gem, I give you this.
They make toys and games, CRT manuals.
Smh.
What is the part of this training that is supposed to be offensive?
And I dont think anyone is saying that two year old children are racists.
However noting that toddlers may react with other children based on race , if it happens, is an interesting finding, not an accusation that individual children are racist.
Get a grip conservatives.
Apparently, "Just Jim NC TttH" does not feel that a private company should be able to train its own employees on what the company wants to.
It's just more much ado about nothing.
Yet another article purporting to be about CRT that isn't. CRT is about racism in our public policy and laws, not about racism in kids.
-----------------
Yet another boob filled with right-wing nonsense babbling about the latest culture war 'issue' being pushed.
Thank you for the truth and facts on the matter.
Why would a thing like this need to be kept secret?
Guess............
Was Hasbro supposed to call a press conference to announce that they are making optional anti-racism classes available to employees???
The problem here is that this idiot went on Hannity and made the false accusation that Hasbro is teaching CRT. This will undoubtedly cost Hasbro sales and will need them to activate their 'response to boob(s) team' to do damage control. If I were Hasbro, I would sue Johnson for making false claims resulting in lost revenue. There should be consequences for being a gullible moron.
Has little to do with in-house training. From Mr. Johnson......................in this article and the original posted a few days back
"[Hasbro is] attempting to covertly push CRT, Critical Race Theory, through branding and messaging through their products,"
That is his beef. And perhaps you missed the fact that the gentleman is black?
Sure. Why not? Companies brag about their training all the time. If they’re proud of it and they believe in it, why not be public about it?
Wait. Now you’re saying it’s not true? Which is it? They’re doing it and it’s a secret? Or they’re not doing it?
You know exactly what he's saying.
As usual you're arguing just for the sake of arguing.
Weak & ridiculous argument; it would be a waste of resources. Who would care anyway.
It's not true that Hasbro is teaching CRT. CRT is looking for racism embedded in our public policy & laws. The training course offered at Hasbro:
It's not true that Hasbro is teaching CRT. CRT is looking for racism embedded in our public policy & laws. What is being taught [from the article you're quoting]:
Simply NOT CRT.
He's a gullible moron who doesn't know what he's talking about, but he's spouting nonsense that the right wants its army of gullible morons to fulminate about.
Irrelevant.
Read it again. His beef has little to do with internal training or teaching.
through branding and messaging through their products,"
Oh come on already...
Yes designing games and action figures is complicated, or maybe they could make a few more $$$ by having a few
minority figures sprinkled throughout the directions for PlayDoh /s.
Further proof of assimilation and the diminishment of race when it comes to common sense.
Again, thanks for the truth and facts of the matter. Again, much ado about nothing.
It doesn't matter how many times you read it. It's not CRT, which looks for existing racism. The backup for Johnson's claim is to point to The Conscious Kid, which is not attempting to indoctrinate kids. TCK is showing Hasbro how racism makes it way into things and how you might prevent that. The Dr Seuss foundation decided to pull some of its books because racial stereotypes were depicted -- the right lambasted them for this. It seems as though the right wishes to perpetuate racism by omission.
It has become the case that any discussion of racism is now CRT and is to be fussed about. Refusing to discuss a problem is not a path to solution, lying about any attempt to deal with a problem is not a path to a solution.
Why the hell do you think he was taken off the job? He blew the whistle and Hasbro didn't like it. Methinks they doth protest too much.

The premise of the article is stupid. Corporations often require all employees to take mandatory courses on racial sensitivity, sexual harassment and religious tolerance. That is not teaching CRT, although some elements of such training could, if you are really looking for it, contain some elements of CRT. It doesn't matter though because these are private businesses. The government does not require such training. It is required because it saves legal expenses to head off discrimination and harassment claims before there are problems. I took many such courses as did everyone else at my company.
Judges can impose "sensitivity training" on companies that are chronic class action offenders.
I see you missed it too......................the point. Has nothing to do with the internal training. His bitch is it has to do with the products and the messages the are basically incorporating in said products.

You read it again. The complaint was actually made about the content of company training.
Boring writers have a lot to answer for. ; - )
From the article:
Keep reading. That is his opinion. The complaint he actually made was about company training...
