President Donald Trump on Friday night banned federal agencies from conducting workplace training sessions on race that constitute "divisive, anti-American propaganda," the latest overture to his political base two months before the presidential election. Citing "press reports," Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, decried the "millions of taxpayer dollars" spent on such programs "across the Executive Branch" in a two-page memo.

Such trainings "not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce," Vought wrote, adding that "We cannot accept our employees receiving training that seeks to undercut our core values as Americans and drive division within our workforce."

Are they going to bring back the "Melting Pot Ceremonies" Henry Ford did?

For anyone who doesn't know, Ford would have his foreign workers take "Americanization" classes and then at graduation they would walk into this giant paper mache pot and come out the other side all dressed the same in very American clothes for the time.
