Critical race theory is becoming the federal government's default ideology.

In new whistleblower documents, I've discovered that the National Credit Union Administration hired diversity consultant Howard Ross to train 8,900 employees on "white supremacy."

Let's unpack it.

Ross begins by claiming America was "founded on racism" and "built on the backs of people who were enslaved."

He says modern America has upheld this system of white supremacy through "policing [and] discriminatory practices" for "hundreds and hundreds of years."

Ross claims that all white people are complicit in this system of white supremacy "not necessarily by choice, but by automatic response to the ways we're taught." He claims that even "good and decent [white] people" uphold "the system of systematized racism."

Next, Ross argues that "the policing system in this country has always been about race" and "keeping freed slaves in their place." He says American police uphold the white supremacist system that "produces the results we're seeing," such as police killings of black men.

In a graphic prepared by the NCUA, the trainers argue there is an "unavoidable connection between George Floyd and slavery lynching." They claim "white people keep the system in place" and demand that federal employees become political "activists" to seek "policy change."

The other speaker for the training, Johnnetta Cole, was a fellow traveler of the Communist Party USA, Soviet Union front groups, and the radical publication "Rethinking Marxism." She encourages federal employees to become "activists" and push the agenda of "antiracism."

According to whistleblowers, the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion bombards staff "almost daily" with racially and politically-charged content. One worries "managers within the federal government [will] start coercing federal employees into repeating antiracist/BLM slogans."

Within the agencies, conservative employees are "terrified." Whistleblowers say the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion operates almost as a racialized intelligence service, encouraging employees to denounce their colleagues for "unconscious bias" and "microagressions."

Here's the larger historical point: for the past century, the federal bureaucracy has built a vast technical apparatus. But now, for the first time, it has adopted a radical ideology—critical race theory—as its default operating system. In other words, it's been weaponized.

Conservatives must push back. If critical race theory is already spreading under the Trump administration, imagine what will happen under a Biden administration: activists will flood the agencies, root out their ideological opponents, and turn the bureaucracy against the people.

P.S. If you want to help fight back, please consider pledging $5 or $10 a month so I can continue this investigation. As one of the whistleblowers told me in an email: "many of us in the federal government are grateful for your efforts." http://www.christopherrufo.com/support
