This isn’t a run-of-the-mill story about the standard HR antics of a toy company; rather, the events described here represent a microcosm of the kind of bravery that is needed from everyday Americans to effectively defy the illegitimate US ruling class.
If you’ve worked in corporate America/government in any capacity, you can likely empathize with (now-suspended) Hasbro packaging engineer David Johnson’s dilemma: a standard mandatory “diversity” meeting popped up on his work calendar, he attended, and the facilitators kicked their propaganda session off with a PowerPoint presentation claiming that children as young as three months old already exhibit the clinical signs of racism.
The conclusion being: children as young as three months old (as well as adult Hasbro employees) must have their racism extracted through meetings very much like the one Johnson was attending, facilitated by the very same types of “diversity officers” like those of the “non-profit” The Conscious Kid* (for a fee, of course).
*The Conscious Kid maintains (likely lucrative) business relations with a multitude of corporate partners, including Google.
In the mandatory meeting recorded by Johnson, The Conscious Kid Co-Founder Katie Ishizuka-Stephens explains the ideological dogma:
“By three to six months, babies are beginning to notice and already expressed [sic] preference by race. By age three, children are already starting to apply stereotypes. They also may use racist language intentionally at this age… By age four, kids are showing a strong and consistent pro-white anti-black bias.”

Notice the rhetorical subtleties at play: not “some” kids or even “many” kids but “kids” writ large; the implication being that all (white) kids are racist. The “racist” label net, therefore, scoops up an entire demographic, irrespective of individual characteristics or nuances.
See how the racket works? They function as modern-day Johnny Appleseeds, planting race obsession everywhere they go, only to come back later and reap the benefits of what they have sown.
The professional diversity class diagnoses the issue, which may not exist, presents itself as the solution, then cashes in – all while enjoying an unearned moral superiority.
The concept that everyone and everything is racist and needs fixing (by them) is old, well-trodden ground for the social justice left.

Watch David Johnson’s interview with Project Veritas, which includes the above-cited clip as well as his reasons for taking action, here. He sums it up: “this is a hill worth dying on.”
David Johnson: A Model of True Resistance
This guy is the true Kryptonite to the ruling class; pigeonholing him as some sort of #MAGA fanatic is particularly difficult because he is an obviously intelligent, soft-spoken minority who delivers his point succinctly and honestly.

In the same way, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden came across as believable and morally attractive because he expressed his concerns plainly and clearly in no-frills language.
In short, there is no obvious agenda afoot except taking a stand for basic decency. (As a matter of fact, just like Edward Snowden, Johnson’s job was as sure as gone as soon as he began the leaks to Project Veritas.)
The “farmers with pitchforks” model a la popular rejection on a mass scale of the corporate state is crucial, but just as important, if not more so, is recruiting defectors like David Johnson from inside the belly of the beast.
We in the independent media need to venerate and amplify the voices of intelligent, skilled, morally decent, courageous actors like David Johnson. Peeling off critical human pieces of infrastructure — whose silence and complicity the corporate state relies on to press its agenda forward – strikes an equal, if not tougher, blow to the corporate engine as street protests.
Why Hide the Reality of Mandatory Ideological Indoctrination For Employees, Hasbro?
Unsurprisingly, Hasbro has “suspended” Johnson’s remote access to company infrastructure and, in all likelihood, will terminate him for some arbitrarily defined “security” or “confidentiality breach.”
Via Jason Pyle, Harvey Nash President:
“Your access has been suspended for the moment while the company investigates some sort of issue of breach confidentiality… I want to understand that — that you’re aware that you [David Johnson] have a contract with Harvey Nash that has a confidentiality clause, and whether or not you’ve properly reviewed that you are not to share any sort of information externally in any way, shape, or form if it’s deemed to be proprietary in nature.”
Social Engineers Push Their Agenda Through the Corporate Framework By Proxy
Any perversion that the social engineers wish to foist upon the people that it cannot achieve through government fiat – either due to what remains of legal protections for normal people or due to transparency issues – is outsourced to its corporate partners.
(*Case in point: corporate-mandated “vaccine passports”)
American conservatives – whose title appears to indicate that their agenda is to conserve what is decent about Western civilization – need to wake up to reality: corporations are not now, nor have ever been, a friend of the people.
The right-wing in the United States historically – just as the left-wing is now – has been co-opted by groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce whose entire mission is to hoodwink Nebraska corn farmers and Ohio steelworkers into buying the delusion that a corporatized state, run for and by corporate interests, will “trickle down” success on them at some theoretical, hazy point on the time horizon.
This is ideological nonsense. The US Middle Class is dying at the hands of the corporate state.

In the wake of the economic damage the ruling elite have wrought, their only recourse is to kamikaze the culture so that the population descends into racial and cultural conflict. Meanwhile, the overseers and masters of the globalized plantation slip out of the back door into their island redoubts and watch the fire burn.
CRT is the squirrel; the US public is the family golden retriever.
