Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, signed an executive directive on Wednesday ordering state employees to undergo “implicit bias training.” Executive directives allow the Michigan governor to establish procedures or basic policy for employees of the state’s executive branch. According to the directive, current state employees will be required to undergo “implicit bias training” by the end of this year, while new employees must complete the training as part of the hiring process. While various bias training initiatives have been implemented by government offices in recent months, some research shows that the impact of these initiatives is negligible. Whitmer’s directive

Gretchie, you've become quite the mental health case. Suggest you resign and check in at the nearest memory care facility.

Early Alzheimer’s is setting in with a compound condition of Democrats with delusions of imperialistic dictatorial powers and severe Trump Derangement Syndrome coupled with advanced alcoholism.

So we have the Republican Party and the What the Hell is Wrong with These People Party. This is not necessarily stupidity. They are frankly living in their own little minds and are out of touch with reality.

Nothing would crank my “implicit bias” up faster than being forced to attend one of these farces.

Poll numbers must be wretched. She is starting to whipupthe quota vote so when she plays te race card it will carry her to victory. This has nothing to do with improving anything excpt her reeelction bid.

I can go online and buy carbon offsets to prove how wonderful i am.
So maybe i‘ll set up a website that trains people not to be racists and sell certificates. And pass a law saying The Mob can’t kill or maim you or burn down your house or store if you’re certified.

I hear about implicit bias, ad nauseum. It is never suggested that employees sit through costly, wasteful training to get over their black rage and need to tear up cities when they don't "feel" like they've been respected.
Next, we will hear that the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law was not meant to cover white people and Asians.

Quit pandering to minority voters - someday they might even wake up. The rest of us have reached our limit of kneeling for these RACIST thugs.

She should proclaim that in addition to mouth and nose masks, that people also wear blindfolds and ear plugs so that they can't see skin color, or hear speech patterns / accents etc. that might indicate that someone around them is 'different' and thereby inflame racist behavior.

Be very afraid. COVID paved the way for potentates to exert capricious power for the sake of a public health emergency. Dems can feel free to declare anything to constitute a public health emergency and exercise any number of 'laws' to support emergency measures. Orwell's spirit is standing above America crying "See, I told you so!".

So, in Michigan, if you are not woke, your life is in danger. We must send people to woke training to save their lives. Pure BS. Pure Michigan.

So a virus infects black people more because they are genetically more prone to the underlying conditions that make them more likely to get it, so I am racially biased? That seems to be what Gov. Whitmer is saying. Glad to know she is "following the science " as she so often claims. Instead of fixing bias with this "training", she will be instilling it in the unwilling participants.

Apparently, she keeps issuing orders under the 1945 act because she thinks it IS 1945. Unlock Michigan!

Why don't they conduct explicit bias training. Why not speak up, rather than hiding it? For example, I think Gretchen should be fired. I hope that is clear, and not implied.

Can't argue with that. I slipped on some ice a few years back and broke a leg bone. Racism caused that. A year or so later I had a monster case of flu. More racism. I've been fighting to change my habits and lose weight because, you guessed it, racism. And all this covid? Racism fer shure, baby.

If "personal merit" is going to be considered a white man's racist construct under this policy, the majority of Michigan voters are going to deserve what they get.

Were I work, it's called "unconscious bias". So we have whether we actively think it or not.
What a load of crap.
