Social justice on Mars:
"Assuming NASA ever actually does take us to Mars, we can now rest easy knowing they will be prepared to establish a utopian society upon the blank Martian slate, free from the privileges and prejudices of Earth.
The Goddard Space Flight Center announced in February that it has undertaken a “redesign” of its Diversity Dialogue Project (DDP) in order to “increase overall impact for the organization and better utilize and manage current internal resources.”
NASA plans to create a “culture of positive influencers who are empowered to use their privilege wisely.”
By that, of course, they mean they’re going to promote “Diversity and Inclusion” (which they not only inexplicably capitalize, but even adorn with an acronym) by testing out an “awareness” training program intended to help participants discover their own unconscious biases.
...Oh, wait; here it is: By teaching employees about “the potential impact of our behaviors and (unconscious) biases in the workplace,” NASA plans to create a “culture of positive influencers who are empowered to use their privilege wisely.”
