You hit this right on the head.

I have worked in Heath Care for 27 years, and it is full of it. I understand the concepts behind it. And I understand the reasons for doing it.

I feel exactly the same way you feel. I don’t need a frikking class to tell me what sexual harassment is. I don’t NEED a class to tell me how to be sensitive to other people’s race/creed/gender and so on.

My parents taught me right from wrong. It makes my skin crawl to sit through these “classes” every year. I bring a book if I have to, and I copy the test from someone else. This irritates me to no end.

What really gets me is the attitude “This isn’t directed at white people/men/protestants/insert whatever here, it is directed at ALL people...”

Yeah, right. I effing hate it. It is the same mentality that makes companies require procedure manuals for every damned thing. You can’t use your commonsense anymore, because that simply doesn’t exist in people, apparently. So we have this huge bureaucracy maintaining these HUGE manuals with revisions and every other bureaucratic crap under the sun.

I hate it. You described it very, very well.

There are many people making lots of money off of this victim industrial complex.

In a world without moral absolutes, the Left's reaction is to write a book full of petty rules and damning consequences. That solves nothing and brings about the opposite of what's intended. There is no longer that bright line where people used to have the freedom to not only exercise their good judgment but to make inevitable mistakes as well. Goodness as defined by bureaucrats has not improved human nature.
