I work at the International Worldwide House Of Rocket Exploration (IWHORE--name changed to protect the "innocent" ebil gummint agency). DEI training is essential here for anyone who wants to move into management--or for anyone who wants to be successful dealing with or mentoring the diverse workforce here.

The training here emphasizes how enforced uniformity--and the resulting group think and suppression of dissent--have resulted in the loss of 17 astronauts in the agency's history. Encouraging different ways of thinking requires encouraging different ways of being, and that is essential to avoiding future tragedies.

And yet...when I tell people where I work, I often get some furtive glances followed by a softly probing question as to how I feel about all that diversity training. And when I respond that I think it is valuable--indeed, essential when managing such a large organization--I'm often met with silence, so I know this is the Faux News crowd trying to worm its way in.

These assholes can have my DEI manuals when they pry them out of my cold, dead hands.

You know, things might become a little clearer if I reminded you that "veritas" is merely a shortened form of the expression "veritable assholes." That should make their branding more transparent. This observation has been provided to you at no extra charge.
