Bigotry is Everywhere: The Unspoken in Diversity and Inclusion

Summary: Much of what traditional diversity programs teach is wrong … and sometimes illegal. The EEOC said that our focus needs to be more on building skills so we can create an environment of workplace civility, which means focusing on such topics as trust, tolerance, and conflict resolution -- and not teaching about different cultures. No one should ever be denied an opportunity to work or be promoted, yet they often are due to bigotry and misguided diversity and inclusion policies. We’ll learn from a white, Anglo-Saxon protestant, straight guy that diversity, inclusion, and tolerance initiatives often miss their intended mark and what we can do to more effectively address them in the workplace.
