The pervasive notion of “implicit bias” reared its spurious head once again during the recent confirmation hearings for Merrick Garland. Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-LA) pressed Garland for a more succinct definition of the term, but to no avail. Garland insisted on its merits but refused to offer any further insights on how he would apply the supposed litmus test for prejudice as Attorney General.
Over the last decade or so, the Left has promoted implicit bias — also known as “unconscious bias” — as an effective metric to gauge all manner of prejudice. They argue the concept is rooted in sound science and hard data. As a result, widespread training protocols are now being implemented and enforced all across our nation.
