IOW, just like under Communism. Brainwashing sessions, grief struggles.
Imagine where we would be had Harris won! We'd be done.
New documents are revealing the extent of the Biden administration’s “ecogrief” workshops, where employees at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were encouraged to channel feelings of ecological anxiety into “lifesaving changes” for the planet.
The documents, obtained through an open records request by the Functional Government Initiative, show the grief workshops were more widespread than officials initially acknowledged, and agency officials considered it a “high priority.”
FWS took the grief problem seriously enough that its main national training center was working to develop a permanent “course on ecological grief” for employees struggling with it.
But when The Washington Times first revealed the workshops in 2023, agency officials downplayed the extent of their efforts. They admitted to just three workshops, though internal emails said there were at least four ecogrief sessions, and probably others that were done under different names.
Officials at the time also did not reveal the separate course being developed by FWS’s National Conservation Training Center.
“It’s apparent that the FWS officials behind this ecogrief training understood it was a boondoggle,” FGI told The Times. “They realized how Congress would react and how this would look to taxpayers, and that’s why they scrambled to respond to the story and probably why they followed up with incomplete information.”
The revelations come as the new Trump administration has ordered all diversity, equity and inclusion — or DEI — employees across the government to be put on leave.
It’s not clear whether the ecogrief efforts are covered by the anti-DEI directive, but one FWS employee said Mr. Trump has ignited a scramble to try to hide DEI activities to preserve jobs and offices.
