Raytheon Technologies, the second largest U.S. defense contractor, is asking its employees to 'identify their privilege' and 'develop intersectional allyship' in a 'woke' training course, leaked documents show. Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes spearheaded the campaign called 'Stronger Together' starting last summer, which was revealed through training documents reported by Chris Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think-tank.
The documents instruct employees at the weapons-maker to strive for 'equity' over 'equality', and tutor them on 'intersectionality', a world-view that critics say divides people into different categories in a hierarchy of privilege and oppression based on race, gender, sexual identity,
Voting will no longer fix this.

How will CRT unify America? I thought we were all Americans. Wasn't that MLK's dream? By the way, what ever happened to the "melting pot" of shared values? We're now a salad bar and it's not a pretty picture!

The company I worked for had something very similar to this type of training that every employee had too take. Since I was retiring, I didn't have to take it, but I listened to some of the BS that was presented in these classes. I would have been fired if I stated my responses to this crap, so retiring was the right move.

This is the latest version of Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton shakedown agenda.
It's the latest groveling by big business, look for them all to do some form of it to keep the BLM crowd off their back.

What does identify your privilege even mean? If someone said that to me I would have no idea what they wanted. Silly people.

Does Raytheon really want to do this or are they being forced to do it? Companies that want to continue their profitable government contracts probably have a clause in their contracts or some new edict/directive, that they must provide this type of training as a part of their contract requirements. Government contracts come with a lot of stupid requirements that have nothing to do with the work to be done. This probably includes the current race hate training popular with the Biden administration. They have no choice.

The Daily Mail paid the leaker for this. CNN or the NYT would have arranged to have them 'disappeared'.

If most of your business comes from the DoD what would you do? I am not saying they are entirely innocent. But they do have a natural incentive.

Exactly, #1! That Frankfurt School was really onto something....infiltrate the education system and cultural aesthetic, and the outcome would be inevitable! No quick solution to turn THIS ship around!!

"We were just following orders, LOL." We excuse their using our tax dollars to subvert the nation because making money is the greatest objective to Americans? Pushback has to come from players with some weight.

I don’t work for Raytheon but I have identified my privilege and this is it…
I’ve worked and paid taxes for almost 50 years in order to provide layabouts, criminals and illegals with health care, housing, food, education, fake nails, hair extensions, $400 sneakers, flat screens, cigarettes, booze and drugs. All at the expense of my own family.
And not one of those layabouts, criminals or illegals ever uttered a single “thank you”. It certainly looks like THEY are the ones with privilege.

That will really help with electrical engineering. Must a black engineer sign off on all projects? Must any white person's apology must be attached?
Seriously. How does this make products which do the job?

FTA: Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes spearheaded the campaign called 'Stronger Together' starting last summer, which was revealed through training documents reported by Chris Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think-tank.
“Stronger Together” was Hillary’s 2016 failed campaign theme. These lefties need some new material.

I have identified my privilege. I live with a roof over my head rather than a tent. This came about the same way it came to #11. Work.
It appears the opposite is a better way today.
All my jobs throughout my life in three different countries could have been accomplished if my skin was striped with polka dots. Skills, yes. But personality got me in the door.

Competence is on the chopping block wherever the racialism of today's anti-racism is promoted.
Defense contractors' loss of competence will end catastrophically for you and yours and for me and mine.
May God have mercy on us, because the so-called anti-racists are zealots in the worst sense of the word. If God decides on mercy, then it's not too late for sanity in government to prevail.

The Raytheon CEO has been on the job for about a year and has been compensated 21 million give or take. He is also a member of the Washington DC Economic Club. That should give you a quick idea about him.
He's and Raytheon are long time pigs at the trough.

So, you don't need to be a good person anymore, just a POC. People are forced to endure your company (even if you are a total POS) because to not include you is racist. Is that about right?

Raytheon is a large Defense Contractor... this CEO is feathering his own bed with the Pentagon, who no doubt have leaked out to all such companies to either "get with the CRT/LGBTQ/BLM program, or be frozen out on government contracts."
This is the modern Military-Industrial Complex... agenda driven to bring America to Marxism.

From the movie Deal of the Century: with all due respect to my colleague from Raytheon, his Hawk missile couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn.

#2; How will CRT unify America?
It won't and it isn't designed to. It's to create dissatisfaction and anarchy. We're no longer one America. There's us and there's Them.

And who was at Raytheon until just a few months ago? Secretary of Woke Lloyd Austin.

I'm with the posters who earned what they got. My entire adult life I have worked weird shifts, weird schedules, left my family defending this worthless country for as much as a year at a time, worked in hot, humid and dangerous environments and lived in less than stellar places. All the while I was saving and later investing so I could have the nicer things when I got old. Well, old gets to be a higher number the older I get, but when I get there I should be comfortable.
And now all the layabouts and addicts and incubators expect an apology or something? Please die. Do it slowly and painfully. Starvation from a lack of handouts would be good.

Had to put up with a lot of similar stuff at my place of employment over the years. "White males are not only evil, but are the source of all problems". Glad I am retired.
