(Natural News) Instead of trying to figure out ways to help disadvantaged Americans how to survive the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic amid layoffs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was pushing for a staff training course based on the quasi-Marxist critical race theory (CRT). Fortunately, a brave whistleblower put an end to this waste of time.

Early in September, President Donald Trump recently enforced an executive order banning the theory from federal training.

“Direct violation of a presidential order”

According to documents released by Christopher Rufo, the director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty, the CDC’s 13-week online training was scheduled to begin on Sept. 10.

The documents were obtained from the whistleblower, who was “outraged” that there were no signs of the training being canceled despite Trump’s ban, explained Rufo. (Related: Trump seeks to end “critical race theory” brainwashing in federal agencies.)

Rufo tweeted on Sept. 14, quoting the concerned whistleblower. According to the informant, employees received a message telling them that the training was already scheduled and that anyone who didn’t want to participate would have to explain that they weren’t racist for doing so.

BOMBSHELL: The @CDCgov is moving forward with a critical race theory training program—in violation of @POTUS' executive action.

I've obtained leaked documents that outline the CDC's plan to "examine the mechanisms of systemic racism" and address "White supremacist ideology."
