This is so full of crap. Typical right wing MAGAt twisting of some thing that has some truth into something totally different.

First, the medical profession does not take the oath that you published. This was greatly modified in 1964 to remove all of the religious parts and make it more relevant to modern society. Even the simplest search would inform you of that, but in your world facts are irrelevant. Failure number two.

Failure number one was claiming that the bill funds CRT. This is a deceitful lie, but typical of MAGATs who just make shit up out of thin air. Teaching about issues of racism, discrimination, sexism, etc. is perfectly legitimate, appropriate, and necessary to create a safe and comfortable working environment for people of all races and genders and sexual orientations.

Nearly 40 years ago I was required to take a course called "EEO Training" (Equal Employment Opportunity). The focus was about the differences between Whites and Alaska Natives in how we process information and engage in discussions, and about the definitions of sexual harassment and assault. In my subsequent 35 years in the workforce I never once had a complaint of harassment ever leveled against me.

These courses work, they are critical. They are not some infringement on your personal space or your personal freedoms, other than the freedom to harass or discriminate against colleagues you determine to be "others". What people like you object to is that if you are taught how to not be sexist or racist, you will no longer be able to claim ignorance, or "locker room banter" when you are accused. People like you object vehemently when you are required to behave in a civilized manner with the rest of your fellow citizens. It is just a smokescreen to defend your right to bully and control other people around you.

You are consistent, however, you have the MAGAT bullshit theater down pat.
