» SB 5044, 5227, 5228, to require mandatory staff attendance at Critical Race Training in Washington’s K-12 public schools, colleges, universities, and medical schools

Lawmakers are considering three bills to impose Critical Race Training on Washington’s public education institutions.
Much of the Critical Race Training curriculum required by these bills is untrue, false, and destructive.
Critical Race Trainings require people to publicly profess their racial and sexual identities, and then be labeled as either “oppressors” or “oppressed.”
According to Critical Race Training, all white heterosexual men are “oppressors” and certain minority groups are “oppressed.”
These bills violate Washington’s Civil Rights Act, the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Washington State and U.S. Constitution.
The bills violate workers’ First Amendment rights by compelling speech or by suppressing their legitimate views and opinions.
Critical Race Training undermines the friendship and trust that make a caring and tolerant society possible and would make the problem of racism worse.
