Arizona State University professor sues school over DEI training: 'simply racism'
Fox News
Owen Anderson argued the diversity training violates state law, which prohibits employees from placing 'blame or judgment on the basis of race, ethnicity or sex'
Anderson could face discipline from his superiors for refusing to participate in the DEI training, according to a press release from the Goldwater Institute. The complaint alleges the training discriminates by "compelling the speech of public employees by requiring faculty and staff to take an examination following a training that presents forms of blame or judgment on the basis of race, ethnicity or sex, and answer with Arizona State University’s ‘correct’ answers, in violation of the Arizona Constitution." Kendall Tietz is a Production Assistant with Fox News Digital.
"I shouldn’t be forced to take training and affirm ideas with which I disagree as a condition of employment,’" Owen said in the press release. "This ‘training’ is simply racism under the guise of DEI. It goes against my conscience, and I want no part of it."
