What a schame artist.

"Howard Ross, the consultant who created the training, has been a fixture in what might be called the *diversity-industrial complex. Since 2006, he has billed the feds more than $5 million for trainings.

In 2011, he billed the General Services Administration $3 million for “consulting services.” NASA coughed up $500,000 for “power and privilege sexual-orientation workshops.”

It is somewhat distasteful but crucially important to note that Ross is a white man. He has a bachelor’s degree in history but pitches himself as an expert in “neuro-cognitive and social-science research” and has spent the past three decades selling the *unscientific snake oil of “unconscious bias.”

That could lead to tremendous abuse. Not just politically.

Everyone had a gun to their head to attend. Attend or face retribution. Some people didn't go and were written up.
What was the name of this training ?
