This coursework is full of stuff that violates the bans on critical theory, and I'm looking to report it to everywhere I possibly can while I'm shopping for a role elsewhere.
It's run of the mill SJW garbage, but I don't want this to be easy for them. I was just forced to rename "master" to "main" in all of our codebases; something I would be ok with if it wasn't a foot in the door for much worse things and a colossal waste of time.
Here's the content of the course overview in case anyone's curious:

While I'm sure you can guess who "company" is, I'm not going to state it outright. Help me get them spit-roasted over this.
Check with a lawyer first, but if possible, skip it, and if they fire you collect unemployment until you find a better place.
I'm almost in the same boat, but my co. has not forced me to do anything yet.
I always hear "talk to a lawyer", what kind of lawyer do you take this kind of thing to? Especially in an ultra-left ultra-woke area?
If I don't do it, I have to have the nags from my manager, and then he'll want to know why. They don't let trainings marked required slide very far.
Just say you have another Communist event to attend that day, make one up and invite your manager.
It's a web course we "can take over the quarter" unfortunately
Probably “employment law”. They deal with stuff like unlawful labor issues.
