"Re-Education Camp"

That "implicit bias" crap the department is forcing on everyone? It's bullshit:
  • I had the pleasure, a few weeks ago, of attending a seminar at Ryerson University as a specially invited guest to hear University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson address a colleague’s students on freedom of speech and gender issues that have made him a household name in Canada.

    I was of course already familiar with much of Peterson’s material from his videos, which didn’t diminish by an iota my sense of privilege in experiencing the force of live presentation. But my ears perked up at something new in his remarks: an allusion to the “Implicit Association Test” (IAT). According to Peterson, the IAT, a pseudo-scientific diagnostic test to measure an individual’s personal biases, has been introduced into the CBC as a tool for identifying and measuring unconscious biases among its senior executives, in all likelihood with the objective of weeding them out through training.

    By coincidence, I had just read a lengthy, detailed and quite damning indictment of the IAT by scrupulously thorough investigative reporter Jesse Singal of New York Magazine’s Science of Us. I hope the honchos at the CBC will read it as well.
  • Given all this excitement, it might feel safe to assume that the IAT really does measure people’s propensity to commit real-world acts of implicit bias against marginalized groups, and that it does so in a dependable, clearly understood way. After all, the test is hosted by Harvard, endorsed and frequently written about by some of the top social psychologists and science journalists in the country, and is currently seen by many as the most sophisticated way to talk about the complicated, fraught subject of race in America.

    Unfortunately, none of that is true. A pile of scholarly work, some of it published in top psychology journals and most of it ignored by the media, suggests that the IAT falls far short of the quality-control standards normally expected of psychological instruments. The IAT, this research suggests, is a noisy, unreliable measure that correlates far too weakly with any real-world outcomes to be used to predict individuals’ behavior — even the test’s creators have now admitted as such.
So here comes the politicians and CPD brass, allowing this pseudo-training to take place, based on the dubious claims that cops are all so racist and unaware of "implicit" racism that we have to be "re-educated" via this and the Consent Decree and who knows what other bullshit they'll come up with.

You can bet this will be coming up in future lawsuits, all to beat up the police and fleece taxpayers.

Intrinsic Bias:

1. Do not attempt to take my shit.

2. Do not attempt to touch my shit.

3. Do not attempt to fuck with my shit.

4. The above applies to you, all of you, each and every fucking one of you. If you know who you are, I know who you are.

5. If the above shoe does not fit, do not attempt to put it on.

6. Your actions define you.

7. My reactions, should you attempt any of the fucking above, will redefine you.

I suggest that all of you watch a few Jordan Peterson vidoes. The man is the canary in the coalmine.He is University of Toronto professsor who discovered the Ontario Human Rights Commision was set to make it a crime punishable by prison if you didn’t use a transgendered person’s preferred pronoun. As absurd as that sounds, it is true that the Canadian Provincial Government was set to punish citizens for not using enforced speech codes. He set off a firestorm in Canada. He has some interesting things to say about about what plans the far left has for 1st world societies.

Re-education has been going on in communist countries for years why would it not happen here? We are slowly, maybe not so slowly anymore sliding down the slippery slope that will end the greatest country the world has ever seen. We will be destroyed from within not from without. I doubt there enough patriots left to make a difference. After all our children have been re-educated in the public schools for years and we let it happen and paid for it with our tax dollars.

Advanced degrees just mean they are more stupid then normal. As with most highly educated people common sense is severely lacking. Not sure why nut time and time again this has been proven out without question. Just look at Berkley as prime example of higher education gone really bad. They give out Doctorate of Stupidity and Unprovable Theories like candy. Then the media recites them as they are gospel. The CPD brass clueless, grabs for anything that will deflect the truth of how truly incompetent that really are. Blame shifting from them to rank and file. Real truth is community hates you, your merit bosses hate you (for being smarter and better than they are), Aldermen hate you (with a couple of exceptions), Mayor really hates you (he appointed Fat Head Ed to get even) and of course the Media is maybe biggest hater of all that's the bad news. The Good News is the taxpayers, those that are tuned into reality love and respect the job you do. So put all the haters in one box and file it away and embrace those that care about you each and everyday.

these character tests are not new and have been around for some time.

i am sure these tests have been fine tuned to screw you around and follow you for the rest of your life.

no way should you take a test like this after being hired.

i have done the same test 3 times during the mid eighty's as part of pre-employment screenings.

third time around i was informed my test was too perfect and wanted me to retest. i declined.

i made up my mind back then that i would never take one again.

the best question was what would you do if you found a dollar on the street?

The “test” isn’t even conducted with the most basic control standards. If you’re going to mandatory training you have to then measure the effect on implicit bias and racism. Even if they could measure that, which they can’t, they almost never attempt to do so. And in the few times they have attempted to measure the effects on bias and racism, it’s actually shown that these types of trainings make things worse! There’s also no reliability to the test. You can have the same person take the test twice and get two polar opposite results. The test is invalid and even when you pretend it to be valid the only data shows it makes bias worse. So which does the department want? They fact they’re making (were making) their members take an invalid test or that they’re making their members take a test that makes them more racist and bias? The creators of the test have already come out and said the way this test is being used is improper. The creators have already told the public their test is being used in a way it’s not intended for. But why let a few facts get in the way of this nifty test. Just YouTube search Jordan Peterson implicit bias test. He runs through all of this garbage.

The whole 'Implicit Bias' thing was bullshit from the word GO! and everyone with a half brain knew it.

Now other authors have done the research and discovered that the test is unreliable. Every time you take it, a different result tends to appear. Sometimes your 'unbiased', 'biased toward white', biased 'against black'... It depends on how fast you hit the keys, whether you're tired, ill, etc.

So the geniuses that created this pile of shit say that you have to take it multiple times and take the average of the results to add to the aggregate results to determine if bias exists in a population. And that it's no good for determining bias at the INDIVIDUAL level... Which is a crock of shit. If the individual results are useless, how the hell will the group results be any better?

It's like that old business fallacy: "oh we lose money on each widget we sell, but we make it up in volume!"

Sounds like the old Soviet Union to re educate the citizens to be a good communist and comrade. Old Nikki K from the early 60' seen this happening to the USA and predicted the USA being transformed to think like a commie. Senator Joe McCarthy of old would expose the democrats in untold great number' for their commie ways.
Good to have a President that does not play the pro commie game.
God save the great USA ! Lets all hope they demo-commie' loss big in the mid term elections.

This here is why "but it's published in social-science journals!" is no guarantee that something is legit, not to mention a truly exquisite example of pre-internet trolling at its finest. Hard sciences like physics and geology have been laughing at these social studies fools for decades, unfortunately they have a tendency to weasel their way into positions of authority by bullshitting those who aren't paying attention.

Hooooooo...

That's right up there with the white-guilt liberal democrat,
SJW and Alinskyite nasty-assery of:

"Cite your source or it didn't happen"
when they find themselves on the business
end of a refutation of one/some of their
dearly held talking points.

As more and more "normal" people (read as those who aren't
living in the lefty lib echo chambers of America's democrat
controlled urban centers) get increasingly fed up with the
fast and greasy shit the left is trying to pull, "cite your
source/prove it" and other similar such has been popping up
more in op/ed and commentary comments sections.

Derisively noted that the two ass-whore newspapers in Chicago
have taken down their comments sections because their censors
and paid agit-prop trolls couldn't keep up with all the free
speech and exchange of ideas in the new public square.

Sheeeeyat...

And that SURELY ain't the democracy those craven,
knee-walking, self-soiling cabal of dickmates had
in mind for the workaday peed-on peons to have.
