White social worker sues Seattle for CRT-based harassment, retaliation

JTN – Critical race theory is more than just the employee training framework inside Seattle’s Human Services Department, according to a longtime white social worker who received HSD’s “maximum achievement” award just three years into his employment.

It was the basis for years of race-based promotions and treatment of program applicants, verbal abuse, retaliation and even violent threats.

Joshua Diemert is seeking $300,000 in compensatory and punitive damages from the City of Seattle for, among other things, refusing to process his Family and Medical Leave Act request last year after he criticized the city’s Race and Social Justice Initiative (RSJI), at which point the U.S. Department of Labor stepped in to force compliance.

Years earlier, during an earlier FMLA stint, Diemert allegedly faced “unrelenting coercion and racial harassment” from his supervisor to give up his “white privilege” by resigning from a lead role so a racial minority could be promoted. more

  1. Good! Now, if only the legal payouts came out of the city council’s personal pockets and those of the individuals who are discriminating based on race. As long as it’s OPM (Other Peoples’ Money), they won’t care about changing anything. And they’re beyond being shamed.
