NASA spent $20M in Biden DEI push that brought ‘anti-racist’ trainings to agency: report

NASA has omitted more than $20 million in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) grants and contracts during the Biden administration, shouting “implicit bias” training, talking with so-called “anti-racist” writers, workplace guidelines for “gender support” and the presence of active left-wing media.

Brought by executive action from former NASA official Joe Biden Strategic plan was implemented Change recruitment, performance evaluation and promotional standards to ensure that all agency operations are fully filled with DEI.

Taxpayer WatchDog Group opens the book The politicization of space agencies has been revealed The report, published Wednesday, shares documents obtained from various public record requests.

“NASA's mission is too risky enough to be distracted by identity politics,” CEO John Hurt told the Post, opening the book. “Newton's physics and air re-entry don't care about anti-racial talks or gender “positive” policies. NASA has the opportunity to take one small step towards financial responsibility and one enormous leap into common sense. ”

The $11.7 million grant and $8.3 million contract represent just a fraction of the agency's annual budget, but former NASA administrator Bill Nelson has raised Biden's equity agenda to the point that these spending items are out of reach.

NASA's Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity has launched their DEI agenda in earnest for the final months of President Trump's first term.

Email Records Retrieved by Watchdog Group, the Office has revealed that Professor Ibram X. Kendy, the author of the Left, invited Professor Ibram X. Kendy in August 2020 to speak to NASA employees entitled “Mission to Inclusion: Cultivating Anti-Irritist Workplaces.”

It is unclear how much Kendi was paid for the lecture. Two years later, the star's anti-racist guru won $5,000 in similar arguments as hundreds of National Institutes of Health (NIH) employees.

Former Republican Rep. Jim Bridenstyn, Trump's NASA administrator, also soaked his toes in Day in 2020 by adding “inclusion” to the agency's core values ​​list.

But Biden has halted identity-focused training and pushed the expensive DEI initiative into high gear with a day's executive order on reversed “racial equity” by Trump, which banned race- and sex-focused grants and contracts.

Some of the resulting development sessions were entitled “All About Diversity” and “The Power of Inclusion”, the latter accompanied by a three-hour course for “men to engage women in positions of leadership.”

The left-handed author was also invited to the talk, but books on “unconscious bias” and workplace diversity became part of professional development.

“To head towards a more inclusive society, the major beneficiaries of privilege (European Americans, heterosexuals, Christian men) do not recognize the benefits they are automatically recognized,” says one of the books that the agency has highlighted.Diversity Beyond Lip Service: A Coaching Guide for Challenging Bias. ”

“While white men must recognize their privileges, the rest of us must recognize that for them, this new accountability is accompanied by loss and discomfort,” author Lawana Harris wrote.

Another 2021 book discussion involves author Uju Sea Lyca talking about her book, “Bringing Up Up Race: How to Cultivate How To Kind Child in a Prejudiced World.”

“As a woman of today's Brexit and Trump climate, you have to keep awake,” writes Sea Lions.

Trump's NASA administrator Jim Bridenstyn, also a former Republican MP, dipped his toes into Day in 2020 by adding “inclusion” to the agency's core values ​​list.

“This doesn't mean you need to cancel Thanksgiving, but your child needs to understand why Native Americans don't want to sit at your east feast,” continues the sea lions. “Explain that for many, turkey day is a day of mourning.”

Other aspects implementing Biden's Dei privilege included a “workplace gender” plan that “transferred” to “toilets, locker rooms, or other facilities that are most comfortable using.”

“[T]He should not be asked or asked to use alternative facilities to accommodate troubled employees. Guidelines It has been declared.

Developmental sessions and other curricula are diversity, equity and inclusion at NASA.

Recruitment efforts were also refined to the so-called “unserved communities” or potential employees with disabilities, but the “process of selecting top leaders” was scheduled to be updated “to better reflect DEIA principles and practices.”

In the performance assessment, employees were graded to an emphasis.[d] It promoted “Diversity Dialogue” and positively sought, participated and incorporated DEI training, and “fostered the development and progress of underrepresented groups through the nomination and selection of diverse team members through diverse team members, speaking engagement and training opportunities in professional development courses.”

Even high-tech workers were not spared the offensive approach working “to leverage existing data systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze DEIA-related data.”

In 2023, NASA hosted “Diversity Equity Inclusion and Accessibility [DEIA] Day has signed an arrangement of confused companies to mentor employees. The event took place at Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston.

DECING DIVERSITY, one of the event's vendors, developed “.Diversity Table“We labeled employees with race, gender identity, sexual orientation and other markers to trigger conversations at work.
