Anyone can access these courses for a one month free trial and a monthly fee thereafter. Many employers make it available to their employees as a benefit.
This is not breaking news.
No whistleblower
No one was forced
Nothing leaked
It’s just one more example of misleading clickbait from a source known for publishing misinformation and conspiracy theories for profit.
Credible sources retract when they get it wrong. GP is not one of them.
Right, MS. Contrary, the woke anti white movement is all imaginary.

I do think that Coca Cola -- if they linked that training to their employees -- has some responsibility to make sure the content is appropriate.
They were careless and not thorough by making sure the content was appropriate.
But it most definitely wasn't a Coca Cola training program.

So if I push my employees to take the White Power course from the KKK, I am in no way liable because my company did not directly create the training course?? Okay, got it.

Sadly you are right, at least to some extent. This isn't anything new. Anti-white racist propaganda is massively popular in companies and government agencies all across the country and the entire Western World. Whether there was any level of coercion is irrelevant, but I know for a fact that some very racist diversity courses have been mandatory for all employees for years now. Any company who promotes the "Hey whitey! Hate yourself!" agenda in any way ought to be sued into oblivion. Companies have actively discriminated against white people in their hiring practices for years, in hopes of putting together a diverse rainbow they can use to virtue signal and feel good about themselves.
Retractions are political f-ckery games. CNN can lie quite spectacularly with their leading story. Then they issue a correction a week later on Friday night at 2AM. The vast majority of the people who read the blatantly false initial story never read the retraction/updates. This is exactly how you can perpetuate some pretty blatant lies like "Very fine people on both sides" being an explicit endorsement of white supremacists and extremists. Trump clarified that he's not talking about the Far Right and fully condemns them in the same speech, but activist-driven news conveniently disregards facts like that.
There is no "better" or "more honorable news media" out there. They all lie their butts off every single day because they're political activists first and journalists as a distant second. Often, the only difference is how blatant each news media outlet is. Some do a better job of pretending to be honest.

I agree there's no evidence Coke made that video mandatory. The Coke logo simply means the page was accessed via the Coke Linkedin account.
I disagree that Coke didn't know the content of the video. No company that size with huge Human Resources and Diversity offices isn't fully aware of Robin DiAngelo and the content of her 'training' videos.

Who knows if corporate was even aware it existed given LinkedIn has 16,000 modules.
On the other hand, with Coca-Cola’s history of racial discrimination and financial commitment to anti racism in the workplace, maybe it had no problem with it.
It settled a massive class action racial discrimination lawsuit in 2000 for $192.5 million ( nearly $300 million in current USD). This included direct payments to thousands of employees, wage adjustments and a long term commitment to eliminating discrimination in ass aspects of employment.
