BREAKING:
An internal FBI inclusivity “Guide,” obtained by our team, counseled agents on “Ways to Manage Your Unconscious Bias,” “Micro-Inequities” and “How to Improve Your Inclusive Intelligence.”
“The New IQ: Your Guide to Sustaining Inclusive Habits in the Workplace” was shared in mid-2020 and includes nine “tips” to counter unconscious bias.
Separately, as part of our investigation, recently retired FBI agents said they saw, firsthand, how law enforcement capabilities were compromised because merit took a backseat to DEI priorities.
They dubbed the legendary FBI Quantico Training Academy the “Participation Academy” because of headquarters’ pressure to “push through” poorly performing candidates to meet DEI objectives.
The retired agents said FBI Director Patel inherits a workforce where standards dropped impacting physical fitness of agents, their firearms skills as well as professional qualifications, putting the FBI mission and safety at risk.
DEEP DIVE
More than a half dozen recently retired FBI agents agreed to speak with me on a confidential basis.
They said they feared retaliation for describing their experiences with the FBI’s DEI initiatives. While fiercely loyal to the bureau, they said they felt compelled to come forward, citing a dangerous reduction in standards.
The group of retired agents was diverse. It included male, female, Asian, Black and White agents from field offices in different parts of the country.
Their work experience covered multiple facets of the recruitment and training process. Everyone we spoke with offered a first hand account of DEI’s impact.
The retired agents told me they valued diversity because it could strengthen the FBI mission but in recent years FBI leadership took the attitude the bureau was “too White.”
We were told that the physical fitness performance of candidates declined. The requirements include timed sit-ups (1 minute), timed 300-m sprint, untimed push-up maximum and timed 1.5-mile run.
The retired agents described recruits who had an ‘attitude problem.’ The recruits would quit the long distance run or claim injuries if they thought they would not pass a requirement. The number of successfully completed push ups was routinely low because many recruits didn’t have the skill or strength to follow the required protocol (i.e bad form, not low enough.)
What we learned about firearms training was also concerning. We were told some recruits lacked the “mental toughness” to competently handle weapons. Other candidates had documented mental health issues. While their performance was poor, there was a “push them through Quantico attitude.”
The backbone of FBI investigations is a witness interview summary known as a “302.” In some cases, new agents lacked basic writing skills to complete a 302, in part, because work experience requirements had been relaxed. Once poor performing recruits were “pushed through Quantico,” the hope was that FBI Field Offices would fix them.
These retired FBI agents are solution oriented and respectfully asked if Director Patel would be willing to meet with them because they understand where the change needs to happen internally.
Describing how “woke broke the FBI,” one of the agents shared the wrenching personal decision to discourage their child from following in their professional footsteps.
In response to our questions, FBI spokesman Ben Williamson said, “Director Patel’s new FBI will be an entirely mission focused institution — working every day to get criminals off our streets, keep the American people safe, and let good agents be good agents. We are aggressively working to abide by any Presidential directive to root out politically motivated, social engineering projects — they have zero home here and never will as long as Director Patel is at the helm.”

When Martin Luther King was assassinated, I was on the faculty of a major US medical school. The entire nation was in shock. I was. I joined everyone else on the university campus in holding hands and singing We Shall Overcome. Faculty representatives met in emergency session. One of the main subjects was whether the school should reduce admission standards to admit more Black students. My response was emphatically No. It still is.
If all men (and women) are created equal, then all can rise to the highest standards.
Only those with a seriously impaired moral compass would advocate lowering standards.
Until DEI training came around I never realized how much my black colleagues hated white people. So I did learn something.
Incompetent agents are no threat to Deep State.
My unconcious bias, occasionally shows, when my brain seeks relief, and I gravitate toward:

that reminds me of family and friends involved in the fight for freedom.
I lived my teen years in a 50/50 black/white neighborhood.
They hate whites, totally.
They are taught by their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents to automatically hate white people.........................
Really??!
I would offer the opine that it didn’t work...
They are also taught by the lefty media and government to hate Whites and blame all of their problems and failings on Whites.
Saw this in the teaching profession, I had no idea how much blacks hated us until I saw it first hand. Adults, not so much the kids.
I learned something from DEI training.
All senior management were spineless dirtbags.
Thanks for posting this.
Good to see Herridge posting on “X”!
An internal FBI inclusivity “Guide,” obtained by our team, counseled agents on “Ways to Manage Your Unconscious Bias,” “Micro-Inequities” and “How to Improve Your Inclusive Intelligence.” Where is the guide on how to catch a bad guy?
That’s soooo 20th Century!................
“My bias isn’t unconscious.”
To have no bias is to have no values, no ability to discern good from bad, beauty from ugly, deserving from entitled...
The question is not whether one has biases - we all do. That’s a simple fact. The key is whether your biases are grounded in reality and cause and effect.
“If all men (and women) are created equal, then all can rise to the highest standards.”
And that’s definitely not the case.
That is the biggest and most obvious fallacy, an outright lie and the cause of most of our social problems.
We’re absolutely not created equal, neither individually nor as groups.
I call it a “noble lie”, noble in the intention of making everyone “feel good” and included, but a lie nonetheless as you can discern by simply opening your eyes.
The worst part of it is the attempt to make that lie a truth through force, as we are constantly doing in ever more oppressive ways, as this post exemplifies.
If I had to write the declaration of Independence again I would strike out that phrase from it. It’s caused nothing but discord. The rest is great.
When I said that all can rise to the highest standards, I did not mean individually. Obviously, some people are stronger, taller, more intelligent, etc. than others. Men are physically stronger than women. What I meant--though I didn't say it very well--is that standards must be kept as high as possible, never lowered, and that everyone must be required to rise to those standards.
