Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association opposes Biden OPM nominee over stance on critical race theory

The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association expressed “growing concern” about President Biden’s nominee for director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Kiran Ahuja, over her “embracement” of critical race theory.

"With the diverse stakeholder status of the multiple federal employee groups, the recent citations of the nominee’s embracement of radical theories such as "critical race theory" draws a large question as to this nominee’s ability to neutrality, fairness, and impartiality," Cosme continued. Critical race theory, a topic launched into the national conversation of the nation's culture wars, focuses on how power structures and institutions impact racial minorities, and many of its proponents believe that white supremacy is both built into the system and ingrained in the American psyche.
