Seattle libraries implement racial segregation in the name of social justice



LINK

The King County library in Washington State have been holding "separate but equal" training sessions for their employees, all in the name of social justice.

According to Chris Rufo, filmmaker is the director of the Discovery Institute's Center on Wealth & Poverty, "…at the King County Library System, a private consulting firm called Racial Equity Consultants recently held racially-segregated "listening sessions" as part of the library's ongoing racial justice programs.

The consultants "begin with an anti-oppression framework" and use segregated sessions in order to root out "institutional privileges and systemic inequities embedded in the current socio-political conditions that influence and affect our institutions."

The consultants discovered widespread "institutional racism" in the library system—and dismissed employees who reported "not experiencing or witnessing racism while working at KCLS" as likely suffering from the false consciousness of "internalized racism." When reached by e-mail, Racial Equity Consultants said it was not authorized to comment.

Rufo told The Post Millennial that the pictures of the signs for the training sessions he posted on social media today came from a whistleblower and reminded him "…signs on (segregated) water fountains in the 1950's."

"Segregation was wrong in the 1950's and it is wrong today, especially in King County named after Martin Luther King, Jr." Rufo said.

According to Rufo, similar sessions are being held at the Veterans Administration Puget Sound (VAPS) facility and the King County Prosecutor's Office. At the VAPS "the local leadership has launched a series of racially-segregated 'caucuses' for "individuals who identify as white," "individuals who identity as African American or Black," and "individuals who identity as people of color."

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg and senior staff have recently required employees to sign a "equity and social justice" pledge and assigned "continued training for white employees," who must "do the work" to "learn the true history of racism in our country." Rufo said that every time he writes an article or posts a picture from the sessions, more whistleblowers come forward.

Washington State government officials, especially those in King County and Seattle have been infusing "critical race theory" into their policies and trainings including in public schools.

Earlier this year, The Post Millennial exposed critical race theory practices and curriculum being practiced and taught in Seattle schools. Seattle public schools released a plan to bring students back into the classroom from remote learning, but differentiated the priorities for who should come back first based on many factors involving a measure of those who are most marginalized. Per the guidelines, "students furthest from educational justice," and "students of color" would be given priority on returning to school for face-to-face instruction.

I didn’t realize my home state was so progressive in the fifties and sixties.

I'd walk right over to the people of color session and sit down and dare someone to say anything, then channel my inner Martin Luther Cream if they did.

For their employees?



That’s an easy payday for me. I’m suing the hell out of the City for racial discrimination


quote:

The laws enforced by EEOC makes it unlawful for Federal agencies to discriminate against employees and job applicants on the bases of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. ... See EEOC guidance on equal pay and compensation discrimination. Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.



quote:

Washington State Law Under state law (RCW 49.60. 180), everyone has the right to be free from discrimination at work, as well as in other situations. Discrimination occurs if an employer treats someone differently and denies them equal treatment or access because of: race.

I win. Gimme my money.

I find it interesting that they are doing this in a city that is over 90% white. Can someone differentiate this from the segregation of the 60's? To me its the same, just wrapped in a more "just" package.

So if I say that I’m for segregation, does that make me racist or not?

See you have to understand ole George wasn't keeping blacks away from whites, he was keeping whites away from blacks.

See how much he cared for people of color?

Critical Race Theory is not accepted fact and progs are too retarded to know otherwise.

Its a fringe theory they accept as truth. Its their religion.

Maybe their own section of the bus too? Just to make sure they're safe from white people after all.

Eventually we can get to the point where people of color have their own schools away from white people.

Just think about how far we'd have come to solving the issues of racism in this country if we're able to achieve separate, but equal, schools.

I think POC should get their own water fountains. So the one's with the compressors won't taint the water.
