Trump announced that he is canceling all the bogus Critical Race Theory training being conducted in the federal government. And well he should. This is complete nonsense that was the obvious outcome of what I ranted about years ago now when universities got away from traditional education and created new disciplines like Black Studies and Women’s Studies which as I previously stated provide no marketable skills and means you either teach or become an activist.

Back in the day when I was responsible for EEO matters, it started off as cultural diversity training when we went from a melting pot to a fruit salad. I went to a preview of the proposed training and said no because the theory was that because blacks came from Africa where food was plentiful and the weather was always warm that time was not something they were concerned with and so if they show up late or leave early it’s okay because that’s their culture. On the other hand, white folks came from Europe where time was important because you had to get the planting and harvesting done before winter and so we’re all anal retentive about being on time.

Trump also said yesterday, I believe, that he will deny federal funding to any school systems that teach the 1619 project, about which I have previously ranted and has been thoroughly debunked by leading historians. And briefly for any of you who are new or don’t remember, the 1619 project is simply a theory that the US started when the first slaves arrived and not in 1776 and the entire history of this country was and still is based entirely on slavery.
