A county in Washington State has been forced to halt its Marxist “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) training program after white firefighters and medics were told that they are causing “racial harm” because of their race.
The DEI program was suspended on Tuesday following a widespread backlash from employees, according to a report.
“Critics, including several King County firefighters, challenged the training’s political undertones and its potential infringement on personal beliefs, particularly regarding gender identity,” radio host Jason Rantz revealed in a report.

“The training’s failure could jeopardize participants’ EMT certifications, demanding acknowledgment of endless genders and an inherent racial bias among White staff.”
The report detailed instructions in the DEI training for white firefighters and medics to check their racist tendencies.
“The training, titled ‘Stronger Together: An introduction to anti-racism and gender inclusion,’ aimed to instill empathy, awareness, and dignity in patient care, yet its execution ignited pushback,” Rantz reported.
“It suggested white staff members inherently harbored ‘racist or sexist views’ and had caused ‘racial harm at some point.’
“They were even told that they ‘cannot be not racist‘.”
A video of the training described the practice of “anti-racism” as popularized by Marxism activist and critical race theory (CRT) advocate Ibram X. Kendi.
“Anti-racism describes ideas and policies that produce and sustain racism racial equity among racial groups,” a speaker, identified as Kendi but voiced by Se’von, tells trainees.
“Anti-racism is a powerful collection of policies that leads to racial equity, and is substantiated by anti-racist ideas.”
The speaker told listeners that a critical anti-racist practice was “holding yourself and your community accountable when you notice racism.”

“It is important for white people to understand the distinction between being publicly shamed for a racist act vs. feeling internalized shame while being held accountable for racism,” one slide tells staff, according to Rantz.
The training, which included tests and quizzes, caused an uproar among employees.
