Republican State Rep. Bryan Avila says he read somewhere that Disney offered an employee program on diversity that said America’s founding involved “systemic racism.”
Well, Avila didn’t like hearing that. So he has proposed a new law to stop private companies from telling employees things he finds objectionable. Specifically, he wants to prevent hurt feelings.
His new law would ban any company from forcing employees to hear anything, like a discussion about racial injustice, that might prompt feelings of “discomfort, guilt, anguish or any other form of psychological distress.”
