Big Biz has found that Critical Race Theory is bad for business

So why the ostensible about-face? Part of it is embarrassment, I believe. The big banks saw how foolish American Express, the mega-profitable credit-card company, looked recently when Chris Rufo of the Manhattan Institute reported how the company has forced its employees to take part in anti-American, anti-capitalist, CRT bias training. (Amex is still ducking my calls and e-mails on the matter). 

CRT is also counterproductive. Big companies, particularly big investment banks, rely on teamwork. CRT does just the opposite, dividing people along racial lines between oppressors and the oppressed. We need people to get along, said one executive at a big bank that has cleansed CRT from training sessions. 

Of course, it s difficult for me to know whether the CRT cease-and-desist is real. (I m not in the training sessions to determine if Goldman or JPMorgan, for example, have replaced CRT with something equally absurd that simply drops the noxious-sounding name.) 

That said, workplace-inclusion consultants with whom I spoke say the trend away from this divisive training is happening because it s both exhausting and idiotic to tell people they are inherently evil and expect them to work together.

Let’s hope Charles Gasparino is right.
