I was fired from my nursing job this year for refusing to take “implicit bias” training. After 39 years of providing equal care to all my patients without regard to their race, I objected to a mandatory course grounded in the idea that I’m racist because I’m white. I fear every healthcare professional will soon be forced to make the same awful decision I did: Falsely admit to being racist or abandon the medical field.
My ordeal started in September 2021 when my employer, Dallas-based Baylor Scott & White Health, rolled out its annual training modules for clinical educators. The list included “Overcoming Unconscious Bias.” After viewing the interactive course, I contacted my supervisor and asked for a meeting with the chief nursing officer and the human resources director. The former sent a surrogate; the latter didn’t attend. After two meetings, it was clear that I wouldn’t be given an exemption. My supervisor told me, “I don’t want you to die on this cross.”
But I did. The idea of implicit bias is grounded in the belief that white people treat those who aren’t white worse than those who are. It’s part of the woke assumption that society, including healthcare, suffers from “systemic racism.” Accordingly, my own supposed implicit bias, which is a euphemism for ingrained racism, must be rooted out. Not only that, it must be replaced with preferential treatment for the nonwhite. I fail to see how real racial discrimination is justified by my nonexistent racism.
I knew it was coming, but I was still devastated when I was fired in February. I went from a six-figure job to zero income. The day I was fired I sold my car to make sure I’d have enough money to live on.

Applaud you. Not only for standing up but taking a stand to save your own life.
"The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum." "Whenever evil wins, it is only by default, "by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles." -Ayn Rand
As far back as the 70’s there were foreign nurses
I hope everyone understands what the left is doing. They forced people to choose between their job and a dangerous injection. They gave the choice: perform abortions or get fired. They forced the decision: submit to being a second class citizen or lose your job. Allow your kids to learn all about gay/drag/trans or watch them get taken away.
They canceled people for dissenting, causing people to not express their opinions under fear of losing their source of income and their reputation.
Think the right way or die in the gutter.
The left already controls the minds of many.
WOW! Bravo!!! And if she is right, I will soon have to decide to submit or shrug.

This article made me think of “Atlas Shrugged”. The compromise on basic moral principles occurred long ago, which is what caused Miss Rand to write this book. I feel like Eddie Willers at this point.
The ONLY hope is a total rejection of the Tenets of Liberalism. It will take some pain, but we must stop allowing the radical Left to define the box from which we can argue.
Too true
Yes
The point is that the modifier, “reverse,” is unnecessary. It’s all racism.

SUE THE BASTARDS
and get a judgment that such “training” is illegal
Let’s put a STOP to this BS NOW
ENOUGH
I have a last name that ends with a vowel. I’m good.
Dude, it’s got nothing to do with compromise or principles. That’s the problem with people who look for hills to die on. It’s watch some videos and push some buttons. Her problem is she thinks pushing a button is a confession, it ain’t, it’s just a button. Your problem is you can’t think for yourself and just use others’ quotes to think you’ve something useful to add, you don’t, you’re just clipboarding.
“she thinks pushing a button is a confession, it ain’t, it’s just a button.”
Your quote reminds me of the Milgram Experiment “just pushing a button”:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
Really, you equate pushing a button that says people can’t help implicit bias with thinking you’re killing somebody?! That’s some seriously hyperbolic BS right there.
The Milgram Experiment was an obedience test.
You passed it.
Actually the Milgram Experiment was a bunch of lies, most of the participants knew it wasn’t real and just pushed the button because they knew it wasn’t doing anything.
You got one part right. I passed. I understand the button does nothing.
