Nurses in Kentucky have been forced to undergo “implicit bias” training to indoctrinate them with concepts such as white people being inherently racist. Those who did not fulfill the course were reportedly being threatened with non-renewal of their licenses.
The Kentucky Board of Nursing (KBN) mandated an “implicit bias” course for nurses in January last year, an incident first reported by the Washington Examiner. The rules required nurses who were actively licensed as of July 1, 2022, to complete the course by July 1, 2023. The course seeks to address the “impact of historical racism and other forms of invidious discrimination on the provision of healthcare” as well as the actions that can be taken to reduce such alleged bias. The course essentially portrays white people as oppressors. One of the diagrams presented during the training is of “overt racism” and “covert racism.”
