Report: American Express requiring critical race theory training
FIRST ON FOX: CVS Health is holding a "conscious inclusion workshop" that
aims to teach employees how to hold each other "accountable" for non-
inclusive behaviors, FOX Business has learned.
An internal email obtained by FOX Business showed David Casey, SVP of
Workforce Strategies and Chief Diversity Officer, discussing the four-week
program. The first three weeks included 20-30 minutes of self-study per week
, leading up to a two-hour virtual workshop in the fourth.
In the email, Casey continues by outlining different "skills" employees will
build during the workshop's fourth week. Those included: "Identify
unconscious bias in your day-to-day interactions and experiences," "[d]
emonstrate bravery by speaking up and having difficult conversations when
observing non-inclusive behaviors," and "[c]ommit to holding yourself and
your colleagues accountable to consistently embrace diversity of all kinds,
and take swift action against non-inclusive behaviors."
Joseph Goode, who serves as CVS' senior director for corporate
communications, told FOX Business on Tuesday the "workshop was announced in
July 2020 as part of our nearly $600 million commitment to address racial
inequality." He added that "our stated goal is 100 percent employee
participation."
AMEX TRAINING URGED STAFF TO ADOPT A HIERARCHY, PUTTING ‘MARGINALIZED’
ABOVE ‘PRIVILEGED’
It's unclear how employees would be held accountable and CVS did not comment
when asked about this. However, the language seemed to touch on concerns
about institutions pressuring people to adopt or advocate certain beliefs.
A CVS Health employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told FOX
Business they took offense at the implications behind the training.
"I was brought up to judge people in their actions, not their skin color or
anything else," the employee said. "I’ve tried hard not to throw people
into categories and then treat them as the worst in said category. Just as
someone unfairly judged should be incensed about that judgement, I’m mad
about the assumption being made that I judge people just based on looks or
where they’re from, and that I need fixing."
Chris Rufo, who is currently rolling out a series of reports about trainings
at major corporations, told FOX Business on Tuesday that CVS' program was
based on "pseudoscientific nonsense."
"And what does CVS mean by ‘swift action against non-inclusive behaviors’?
" he asked. "Will they suddenly tolerate the expression of conservative,
traditional, or religious beliefs in the workplace? Of course not. Corporate
inclusion is a farce, inspired by ideologues and implemented by morons. CVS
is simply another company who has bought the snakeoil of ‘DEI.’"
President and CEO Larry Merlow said last year his company's $600 million
investment would "harness the strength of that diversity and focus on the
areas where we can have the greatest impact."

Besides corporationwide trainings, the company intended to "expand [m]
entoring, sponsorship, development and advancement of diverse employees."
The company's press release highlighted other initiatives as well, such as
building on its "supplier diversity" program. According to its website, that
program focuses on "partner[ing] with our business units to integrate
supplier diversity into procurement activities, and with national
organizations to identify and develop diverse businesses."
Last year's investment was a part of the company's overall inclusion efforts
. CVS' 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report claims that "senior
leaders" completed "conscious inclusion training" late in the year. In early
2021, the training was introduced to vice presidents and colleagues and the
company began rolling it out to other employees in June.

The report reads: "Developed in collaboration with leading third-party
experts, the program explores the science of bias and where and how it shows
up in our business, and it facilitates the development of personal action
plans for inclusion."
Under "communicating gender identity," the corporation said it started
optional inclusion of pronouns on email signatures and business cards. The
report added that it used a field research study to "gather more feedback
from colleagues and customers on the use of pronouns on colleague name
badges" in retail pharmacies. | d********f

Critical race theory is discrimination: RNC committeewoman
American Express subjected its employees to a series of critical race theory
training sessions that encouraged staff to rank themselves on a hierarchy
of "privilege" and apply that hierarchy in the workplace, with the more "
privileged" employees deferring to staff from "marginalized groups."
According to internal documents reviewed by Christopher F. Rufo, a senior
fellow at The Manhattan Institute, and first reported in The New York Post,
Amex executives created an internal "Anti-Racism Initiative" after the death
of George Floyd, subjecting employees to a training program based on CRT
tenets, including intersectionality, which categorizes people as "oppressors
" or "oppressed" based on racial, gender, sexual, and other identities.
In the trainings, the outside consulting firm Paradigm urged Amex employees
to construct their own intersectional identities, mapping their "race,
sexual orientation, body type, religion, disability status, age, gender
identity [and] citizenship" on an official company worksheet. Employees
could then determine whether they have "privilege" or are members of a "
marginalized group." Whites, males, heterosexual people, Christians, able-
bodied people, and citizens would presumably count as "privileged."
In another session, consultants instructed employees to change their
behavior in the office based on their relative position on the
intersectional hierarchy. According to Rufo, the session included "a blue
flowchart with specific rules for interacting with black, female and LGBT
employees: If members of a subordinate group are present, workers should
practice ‘intersectional allyship’ and defer to them before speaking."

Rufo cited another handout, which instructed white employees to "identify
the privileges or advantages you have"; not to "speak over members of the
black and African-American community"; and to analyze their speech and
actions based on their impact on others, not their intent: "It’s not about
your intent, it’s about the impact you have on your colleague."
The training sessions also warned white employees to avoid certain phrases
as "microaggressions." Forbidden phrases include: "I don't see color"; "We
are all human beings"; and "Everyone can succeed in this society if they
work hard enough."

Rufo noted a high-profile "anti-racism" event, in which Amex executives
invited Khalil Muhammad – a great-grandson of Nation of Islam founder
Elijah Muhammad – to speak on "race in corporate America." He argued that
capitalism was founded on racism and that "racist logics and forms of
domination" have shaped Western society since at least the Industrial
Revolution.
"American Express has to do its own digging about how it sits in
relationship to this history of racial capitalism," Muhammad said. "You are
complicit in giving privileges in one community against the other, under the
pretext that we live in a meritocratic system where the market judges
everyone the same."
Muhammad argued that the credit card company should reduce standards for
black customers and sacrifice profits in the interest of race-based
reparations.
"If American Express cares about racial justice in the world, it can’t
simply say the market’s going to define how we price certain customers, who
happen to come from low-income communities," he said. "If you want to do
good, then you’re going to have to set up products and [product] lines that
don’t maximize profit."

FRUSTRATED PARENTS DEMAND CHANGE
Amex's "Anti-Racism Initiative" training module recommends a series of
resources for employees to "learn about covert white supremacy" (quoting
Ibram Kendi) and dedicate themselves "to the lifelong task of overcoming our
country's racist heritage." In October 2020, Amex announced a $1 billion "
action plan" to increase diversity, invest in more minority-owned businesses
, and donate to nonprofits that promote "social justice."
Justin Danhof, executive vice president at The National Center for Public
Policy Research and an American Express shareholder, expressed outrage at
the CRT trainings, which he described as "blatantly racist."
"As an American Express shareholder, this is deeply disturbing," Danhof told
Fox News. "Critical Race Theory trainings, such as the ones American
Express subjected its employees to, are blatantly racist. Full stop."
"Furthermore, the fact that they paid an outside firm - with shareholder
money mind you - to come and conduct seminars that divided American staffers
by race, gender, and who they prefer as sexual partners is insane," the
shareholder added. "The company's management must explain how spending
scarce resources to divide its staff along racial lines, potentially
creating a hostile work environment, possibly increases shareholder value.
Furthermore, to invite a speaker like Khalil Muhammad to rail against
American capitalism shows just how much socialist and even Marxist thought
now permeates American businesses."
Danhof countered some of Muhammad's arguments against capitalism.

"American capitalism is the greatest engine for human prosperity ever
created by man, but all this woke nonsense is a cancer. Let's hope we still
have time to kill the cancer of woke before it takes down its host," he said.
American Express did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.
