A federal judge threw out the city of Seattle’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit a white former city employee filed over mandatory cultural sensitivity programs he claims constitute anti-white racial indoctrination.

The backlash against cultural sensitivity training sessions in both government and corporate settings has been growing in recent years. These sessions are often based on radical, unproven academic theories, such as Marxist-derived critical race theory, that assume that the United States is inherently racist and that white Americans are by their nature racist.
