Wednesday in court, Seldowitz was ordered to attend 26 weeks of anti-bias training in return for having the case dismissed.
I should have the ability to do this. I should be able to walk up to any random chud in a parking lot and hand them a card, and then they are legally compelled to go to anti-bigotry training until they can write a 2 page essay that demonstrates growth.
That sounds like the worst you gotta trick me into it, or give me something physical. I would resent force classes and tests and it would only embitter me. You make me build a house with the disenfranchised or something creative like that where I’m boots on the ground, eyes on the problem I’m probably going to walk away more moved or open minded about things.
Or at least sort people into different ways of reeducation that fits their personality a bit. I think making someone write a essay just teaches them the appropriate amount of bullshit response to give to gain back acceptance, not actually teaching them acceptance/tolerance.

each of the 26 weekly units of the training will be “remember to look behind you before you say shit like this again”
