‘WOKENESS comes to corporate America’: Thread exposes Cigna’s employee critical race theory training and just WOW (this is legal?!)

Cigna has some ‘splainin’ to do.

Seriously.

We don’t pretend to be HR experts but this sort of training seems a bit discriminatory.

Just a bit.

Ahem.

Take a look at this thread from Joe Gabriel Simonson who wrote about Cigna’s ‘critical race theory’ training for their employees:

New from me: wokeness comes to corporate America. In this case, employees at Cigna shared with me critical race theory training and evidence the company discriminates in its hiring process. https://t.co/nLK10Hkd2G

From the Washington Examiner:

Employees at one of the nation’s largest health insurance providers are routinely subjected to far-left critical race theory lessons and asked not to consider white men in hiring decisions, according to leaked documents and chat logs obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Those who work at Cigna told the Washington Examiner that they are expected to undergo sensitivity training they consider racist and discriminatory. Lessons include reviews of concepts such as ” white privilege,” “gender privilege,” and something called “religious privilege,” which is described as “a set of advantages that benefits believers of a certain religion but not people who practice other religions or no religions at all.”

Wow.

Keep going.

Anyone working for a large company has experienced a degree of this gaslighting. As with left-leaning mayors and governors whose towns were ransacked in 2020 due to “systemic racism,” it’s so tempting to ask executives why they were so racist for all these years.

It’s all so dumb.
