A private liberal arts college in Minnesota requires faculty and staff to attend monthly “anti-racism” training sessions, most of which are segregated by skin color. The monthly trainings are a result of black student demands.

The College Fix reported that Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, mandates the trainings, but some employees are not happy with being told they are racist every month. The Fix reported on slides from the March 2021 affinity group meetings, which are separated by skin color. One slide stated: “We’ve been told that in some groups that after saying that there’s no racial problem at Carleton some people just refuse to participate.”
