People get re-trained extremely fast. The leader of our DEI program (which was recently renamed) told us at the training on Tuesday that we “shouldn’t play the oppression Olympics.” I cheered loudly while everybody else listened in confused silence.
The purpose of the training was to teach us to shut down conversations in which people want to air their grievances against “the state of our democracy” in department meetings. Needless to say, I participated actively and gave all the right answers.
