The Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis has implemented a controversial mandatory training module for its 7,000 employees, focusing on the N-word and its historical context. The mandated training, deemed 'language training', elucidates strict guidelines dictating who can use the slur. Non-black employees are prohibited from using the word in any context, while black employees have the choice to reclaim it. The training also identifies other potentially offensive phrases and incorporates elements of political commentary, raising questions about workplace conduct and cultural sensitivity.
The Hennepin County Medical Center’s mandatory training for employees warns that using the N-word can lead to dismissal, emphasizing it's impermissible for non-black individuals.
The training video clarifies that while black employees have the autonomy to reclaim the N-word, non-black employees have no exception to its usage.
