For Star subscribers: Legislation would make it illegal to use public funds for programs that promote diversity, equality and inclusion — and also goes much farther than that.
PHOENIX — A Republican lawmaker is moving to make it illegal to use public funds for programs that promote diversity, equality and inclusion.
And the legislation, awaiting Senate floor debate, has implications that go far beyond government and its workers. It also would preclude public agencies from entering into contracts with any company that has diversity, equality and inclusion programs. People are also reading… Also on the list are everything from computer chip manufacturer Intel and hospital chain Banner Health to insurer Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Arizona-based mining company Freeport McMoRan, said Sundareshan.
Also barred would be"advancing theories of unconscious or implicit bias, cultural appropriation, allyship, transgenderism, microaggressions, microinvalidation, group marginzalization, anti-racism, system oppression, ethnocentralism, structural racism or inequality, social justice, intersectionality, neopronouns, inclusive language, heteronormality, disparity impact, gender identity or theory, racial or sexual privilege or any concept substantially related to any of these theories.
"Woke is to be kind, woke is to be respectful, woke is to wish well of others,'' Keppler said."Woke is to recognize the hurt and pain of others and want it to stop. Woke is to believe in justice. Woke is to believe that all men are created equal.''
