Biden Nominee to OPM Signals Woke-ification of the Federal Government
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | April 23, 2021 | Aaron Sibarium

Posted on 04/24/2021 7:42:57 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Kiran Ahuja, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Personnel Management, has said her goal is to free "black queer and trans people" from the "daily trials of white supremacy." If confirmed, Ahuja would help set hiring standards and coordinate diversity training across the entire federal government.

Until her February nomination, Ahuja was the CEO of Philanthropy Northwest, a nonprofit that offers "diversity, equity, and inclusion-focused programs" to philanthropic foundations. In a blog post written last year on Philanthropy Northwest's website, Ahuja pledged to play a "vocal role in our country’s eternal battle for racial equality." The post cited a Guardian article by Ibram X. Kendi that proposed eliminating all "‘race-neutral' policies that yield racial inequality."

OPM is supposed to be a nonpartisan agency that manages the U.S civil service. It grew out of the 19th century Civil Service Commission, which sought to curb corruption and patronage by hiring personnel based on merit. The agency’s guiding principle, according to its website, is that "employees should be judged only on how well they can do the job."

Kendi, whom Ahuja’s group hosted multiple times, has called standardized tests "the most effective racist weapon ever devised."

Biden’s staffing choices at OPM indicate that the agency is already being politicized. OPM’s communications director, Caroline Ciccone, was until recently the head of Accountable.US, a leftwing nonprofit that pressured companies to cut ties with former Trump administration officials. Since OPM sets hiring and promotion standards for the entire civil service, politicizing the agency could have ripple effects throughout the federal government.

America needs people who suffered under Mao to tell us what is going on.

This continuation of the Kenyanesian Usurpation is more of an abomination than the first two terms.

Do you think this thing will be able to spare a minute or two to perform any tasks legitimately within the job title? They fit in well with SlowJoe&Ho’s collection of weirdos, unqualified, morons, and insane filling the other job titles.

The Dems definitely care more about getting and maintaining their own personal power than they care about the country. This Critical Race Theory stuff is pure poison that is dividing the country and races. It is EVIL. And the Dems want to push it into every aspect of our society. They are EVIL.

We have real problems in this country needing to be solved, nothing to do with black queer trans people. Perverts are nowhere near the critical list of problems to be solved.

And Republican Senators will come out from hiding under their desks and vote to approve the appointment.

Prior to the rigged election, I’d guess Biden never heard of this very disturbed woman. One of the most blatant examples of the fact that Biden has nothing to do with decisions being made to destroy the United States.

(from the article):" Kendi, whom Ahuja’s group hosted multiple times, has called standardized tests "the most effective racist weapon ever devised."

Racist because the standardized tests are based on meritocracy and intellectual ability and acumen ,
rather than getting a trophy for just showing up for the test.
When all are treated and tested equally, some are given preference,
and are still looking for their trophy !

I’d vote against it, but considering my Congressional salary — were I a Senator —, I could afford to put one of those Latinoamericano stone walls topped with broken glass around my home.

The GOPee — part of the Uniparty — will still vote to confirm her.
