Senate Passes Resolution Sexual Harassment Training

Following a national surge of sexual assault allegations, the Senate passed a resolution Thursday mandating sexual harassment prevention training for all employees of the Senate, including senators.

The proposal — introduced by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and co-sponsored by several other Republicans and Democrats — passed unanimously, CBS reported.

Klobuchar said there is widespread support for the resolution, though longer-serving senators had a few complaints.

"(They say) 'Well, I've been here a long time and I've never done anything wrong,'" Klobuchar told NPR. "And I go, 'I'm sure that's true, we just think everyone should do it.'"

The sexual harassment training will need to be completed within 60 days of the resolution's passage and each Senate office must present a certificate of completion to be published on the Secretary of the Senate's website, according to CBS.

Females wearing skirts, or button-down blouses, perfume, etc.. Is THAT now sexual harassment too? I mean WHO ARE THESE WOMEN GETTING ALL DOLLED-UP FOR IF NOT TO GET ATTENTION FROM MEN? Oh that's right, they get all dolled-up for OTHER WOMEN and THEMSELVES, I forgot. Never mind.

Or how about just castrating all males? Or perhaps segregate the work place by gender? Perhaps we'd see who REALLY gets most of the ACTUAL WORK done.

Wait a minute, are the senators wanting to be trained in how to sexually harass?

Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, Anthony Weiner school of harassment.

Sexual harassment has been a part of life on Capital Hill since before The War of 1812. They don’t need training, they have it down pat.

Just look at at the videos from there where you see their staff. Do you see any ugly women? If you do they either are ones doing all the work or they serve a woman.

That’s how so many senators feel about young interns.

Federal and postal employees have mandatory education seminars every year on equal employment opportunity issues and acceptable workplace conduct. There was a film about a Caucasian female supervisor sexually harassing Juan, a younger junior employee. It was a hoot.

This is a get out of jail free card.

"That young lady is lying. I've had sexual harassment prevention training so I couldn't have done that."
