Lockheed Martin Sent Over 1,000 Top Employees to ‘White Male Privilege’ Training, CEO Says
Lockheed Martin, the aerospace and defense giant known for developing F-35 fighter jets, recently admitted that it has put more than a thousand top employees through training sessions to learn about privileges they supposedly have as white straight males.
Such training sessions, including a three-day “White Men’s Caucus” last June attended by 13 executive-level employees, are mandatory and intended for “Caucasian male executive leaders based on level and position,” according to Jim Taiclet, the company’s CEO.
In a June 4 letter sent to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who expressed concerns about Lockheed Martin’s race-centered training program and requested additional information, Taiclet said that 1,024 employees have attended this type of training since 2007.
