Washington Times/March 20, 2016

A top U.S. Forest Service executive told his employees to probe their own “unconscious bias” on everything from race and ********* to the disabled and fat people, asking them to use an unproven ********** tool to explore their feelings.

The online test, which Forest Management Director Bryan Rice urged other agency directors to use as well, specifically warns of problems when it is taken “outside of the safeguards of a research institution.” Users also are told to be careful about how far to go in interpreting the results.

Mr. Rice, in a March 11 email to his employees, also instructed them to read a New York Times piece ****** “Straight talk for white men,” which argues that white men benefit from unconscious bias. He also shared a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that shows managers are more likely to hire those with a “very white sounding name” over those with a “very African American sounding name.”

In an email to The Washington Times, Mr. Rice said he believed the tests would help build a better workplace for his team.

“The intent of using the unconscious bias material is to ****** with efforts to foster a work environment where everyone is respected and valued,” he said. “The unconscious bias material can help us explore diversity and inclusion in the workplace. It was included in a discussion of diversity as part of a continuous series of collaborative discussions on a variety of topics we have on my staff that cover key Forest Service policies and values as a means of fostering continued awareness.”

Mr. Rice did not respond to questions about which tests he took, nor what biases were exposed by those ***********.

It is NOT manners. It is a method of control to make people stay in line. We have lost our sense of humor about each other. Everyone is a victim now. It's sickening to me.

This type of correctness goes beyond manners. It goes to how one defines oneself, and looking at oneself is a healthy exercise. There were no negative consequences related to this executive's request and are some potentially very positive ones. Kudos to him.

Political correctness is a tactic of The Jew Cultural Marxists, in order to limit the ability to speak freely, and thus control people, and control thought. It's a DIRECT attack on the First Amendment - and it's all about advancing White Genocide. These policies are ONLY directed against Whites.

Much of the political correctness issue stems out of EEO claims lodged against supervisors within the federal government. In my 23 years of federal service, I had many a run in with EEO investigators. An employees work ethic and attention to detail always took the back seat. Accommodating marginal employees be they white black brown or yellow was the flavor of the day. Occasionally we encountered creditable issues, but most claims were bogus, embellished, or used as a smoke screen to hide poor performance issues.

Despite Celtic's efforts at being insulting, know that you've got it right from the perspective of this former principal. It's wise to ask people to look at themselves ... as Plato explained in "Know Thyself."
