Over the last several years, organizations and institutions throughout the West have adopted comprehensive diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and mandated new forms of employee and student training on antiracism, unconscious bias, gender diversity, cultural sensitivity, and related topics. The stated goals of these programs are often reasonable if not noble—to create a more welcoming space and inclusive environment for all. But such training, when based on the activist ideology known as Critical Social Justice, or "Wokeism," crosses a line when participants are required to affirm beliefs they do not hold. At work, raises, promotions, and even employment may well depend on one's nodding approval during such training. At school, grades, nominations, and awards may be contingent upon one's active agreement with these beliefs. When faced with such a predicament—between silent submission and risky if ethical opposition—what is a person to do? The Counterweight Handbook provides individuals with a practical and easily navigable guide to understanding and addressing the issues that are likely to arise when this ideology is implemented in their organization or institution.
