CIA Has Dedicated Program to Recruit Transgender Individuals
[FREEBEACON] The Central Intelligence Agency three-year "Diversity and Inclusion Strategy" includes a dedicated program to recruit transgender individuals and agency-wide "unconscious bias" training.
"Welcome to the Central Intelligence Reeducation Center! Blacks, Mestizo Hispanics, Asian-Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and Mpslems, please move to the front of the room. The rest of you prejudiced bastards stay where you are."
The plan, released by the CIA's Diversity and Inclusion Office last week, lays out several goals for "weaving diversity and inclusion throughout the talent cycle."
I'm guessing that "talent cycle" doesn't include agents, though it probably includes recruiters and controllers. It'll show up especially among analysts, where a degree in black studies or a sex change will be considered equivalent to a degree in economics or 5/5 fluency in Pashto.
One agency goal is "Becoming an Employer of Choice," and includes "dedicated programs" to recruit every demographic imaginable.
The Agency's always been "an employer of choice." Lots of jackasses have gotten laid because they "work for the CIA." They don't mention the fact that they're in building maintenance.
"Cultivating an inclusive culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility, and fairness enables all officers to contribute to their full potential," the CIA plan stated. "When employees feel included, have a voice, and are given opportunities to develop and maximize their potential, we create an organization of choice and become a model employer for the full diversity of America's talent."
That's a mouthful of butter that means approximately squat. Mot of us have read such "mission statements" dozens of times before, or at least part of it before losng interest. Inclusion of the word "inclusive" is merely the latest modification, adding a word to the wordy. Ex-PFC Wintergreen woul be amused.
"We will continue to enrich our workforce by targeting diverse communities across the United States to meet our talent needs, with dedicated programs for citizens of African, Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Native American descent; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Individuals; Persons with Disabilities; Veterans; and Women," the CIA said.
Vets are way back, next to the caboose, despite the fact that they're the ones who can step into the jobs with max understanding and competence.
Among the intelligence agency's key actions to meet this goal is to teach recruitment officers to "strengthen cultural competencies and combat unconscious bias."
I believe all my biases are now conscious. I don't like most people.
The CIA will measure its progress of recruiting minorities, LGBT individuals, veterans, and women by using an "inclusion index." The agency will also track "Diversity and gender break-down of applicant flow data and recruiting trends."
"Fansworth!"
"Sir!"
"Count the beans!"
"Yessir!"
