Mandatory Implicit Bias Training Is a Bad Idea. It's all the rage. But in the view of some, it's seriously counterproductive.

…implicit bias training has been instituted at numerous colleges and universities, as well as some corporations, around the country.
…this is wildly premature—and potentially even dangerous. The overselling of implicit bias has, in my view, along with several other related concepts (microaggressions, stereotype threat, white privilege), contributed to the toxic environment on many campuses and in some corporations in which speech is considered “violence,” and in which, if you say the wrong thing, you can be denounced, ostracized, and even fired. And by “wrong thing,” I am not talking physical threats or sexual harassment. I am talking about making intellectual arguments against affirmative action, acknowledging the evidence that biology contributes to some demographic group differences, or even simply showing a debate regarding Canadian speech laws.
The Implicit Bias Test is unreliable
