NASA spent $20M in Biden DEI push that brought ''anti-racist'' trainings to agency: report
2025-03-13
[NYPOST] NASA forked over more than $20 million in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) grants and contracts during the Biden administration, shelling out for ''implicit bias'' trainings, talks with so-called ''anti-racist'' authors, ''gender-affirming'' workplace guidelines and an aggressive, left-wing media presence.

Prodded by executive action from former President Joe The Big Guy Biden

, NASA officials also implemented a strategic plan to suffuse all agency operations with DEI, altering criteria for recruitment, performance evaluations and promotions.

The taxpayer-watchdog group Open The Books revealed the politicization of the space agency in a report published Wednesday, which shares a trove of documents obtained from various public records requests.

''NASA's mission is too risky to get distracted by identity politics,'' Open The Books CEO John Hart told The Post. ''Newtonian physics and atmospheric re-entry do not care about antiracism talks and gender 'affirmation' policies. NASA has an opportunity to take one small step toward fiscal responsibility and one giant leap toward common sense.''

#2  I always found the only way I could pass the tests that came with such training was to give all the answers that common sense told me were wrong.

#1  I spent almost a decade as a Federal Bank Examiner.

One of the trainings I attended was on the topic of sexual harassment in the workplace.

That training began with a short pre-recorded video emphasizing the importance of this subject...

The speaker in the short video was President Bill Clinton.
