My guest this week is Casey Petersen (@CaseyAPetersen), a research and development electrical engineer at Sandia National Labs who took issue with the diversity and racial awareness training at the National Labs. We discuss his video challenging Critical Race Theory and its use in diversity training and school curriculums. (NOTE: This discussion happened prior to the release of Breonna Taylor's grand jury testimonies)
