AMidwest affiliate of the nation’s No. 1 killer of unborn children will pay $500,000 to settle a federal investigation into its alleged discriminatory practices, including promoting racial segregation.
Planned Parenthood of Illinois violated federal civil rights laws when it conducted training sessions in which the organization “segregated employees by race [and] subjected white employees to harassment,” according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The abortion provider also engaged in “disparate treatment against white employees regarding terms, conditions, and privileges of employment,” the EEOC discovered in its class investigation into “charges brought by multiple Planned Parenthood employees.”
Perhaps it comes as little surprise that the affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, founded by a woman who embraced the racist and discredited theories of eugenics, would be investigated on racial discrimination charges.
‘Affinity Caucuses’ And Segregation
The EEOC says the Illinois operation established required “affinity caucuses” segregated by race. Employees of races outside a caucus were prohibited from taking part, according to an EEOC press release. The leadership team also “demanded that all employees” participate in DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) education that included “harassing and derogatory statements” about white employees.
Among the sessions’ problematic mantras were the following assertions: White employees “do not feel racism the same way non-White patients feel,” and “white supremacy is exerted at every level of oppression (individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal).” In other words, a veritable Marxist clinic inside the abortion mill.
“Segregating employees by race violates the core promise of our nation’s civil rights laws,” EEOC Chairwoman Andrea Lucas said in the press release. “Title VII guarantees equal treatment for every employee and prohibits race discrimination in America’s workplaces.”
“The alleged conduct violated the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits race discrimination,” according to the release.
Based on the EEOC release, it sounds like Planned Parenthood Illinois was running a DEI cult. Each week, the abortion facility forced staffers to undergo reeducation sessions, lasting as long as two hours and consisting of “segregated racial affinity caucuses” or DEI propaganda. The Planned Parenthood affiliate also refused to give white employees time-off opportunities that it handed out to black employees, the agency said.
Civil rights protections cover white workers, too, despite what the DEI industry has falsely sold to American education, business, health care, and culture, particularly over the past decade.
“There is no DEI exception to Title VII’s requirements,” Lucas said. “Employers who deliberately separate workers or subject them to harassment because of their race, including white employees, violate federal law.”
