The statement is narrowly, almost comically, focusing on only two concrete messages of a training:
In the meantime, all agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on "critical race theory", "white privilege," or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil
They are not recognizing that the whole push for diversity that's been championed since I don't know when is inextricably linked to these concepts. If you remove "white privilege", are you allowed to keep "male privilege" or "cis privilege"? Are you allowed (or even required) to keep the yardstick that tells you that if a distribution of one or more of the obsessed over characteristics in a given group is different from that in the general population then the act of racism, or sexism, or homophobia, or transphobia, or some other kind of systemic oppression has taken or is taking place?
The statement reads as an immediate, ad-hoc performative response to the present situation; not as a result of any sort of deep analysis.
