Trump targets 'white privilege' training as 'anti-American'
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump has directed the Office of Management and Budget to crack down on federal agencies' anti-racism training sessions, calling them divisive, anti-American propaganda.OMB director Russell Vought, in a letter Friday to executive branch agencies, directed them to identify spending related to any training on critical race theory," white privilege or any other material that teaches or suggests that the United States or any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.The memo comes as the nation has faced a reckoning this summer over racial injustice in policing and other spheres of American life. Trump has spent much of the summer defending the display of the Confederate battle flag and monuments of Civil War rebels from protesters seeking their removal, in what he has called a culture war ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Meanwhile, he has rejected comments from Democratic nominee Joe Biden and others that there is systemic racism in policing and American culture that must be addressed. Vought's memo cites press reports as contributing to Trump's decision, apparently referring to segments on Fox News and other outlets that have stoked conservative outrage about the federal training. "The divisive, false, and demeaning propaganda of the critical race theory movement is contrary to all we stand for as Americans and should have no place in the Federal government."
