The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Community Relations Service will host more than ten self-paced online trainings this spring to help U.S. law enforcement officers “build better relationships” with transgender communities, according to the department’s website.

The free three-hour program is designed to “improve [officer’s] awareness and understanding of transgender communities and individuals.” It’s one of two versions of the program offered by the DOJ. The other version, which is the original, is a four-hour in-person or virtual training run by “subject matter experts from law enforcement and transgender communities,” the description states.

In July 2022, the DOJ piloted its first web-based, self-paced training based on the original in-person “Engaging and Building Relationships with Transgender Communities” training program, according to a Community Relations Service news release.

Does law enforcement need transgender-sensitivity training?

Officers at the upcoming sessions be taught “gender identity terms” and “acceptable language” to use when interacting with transgender people, as well as “issues impacting transgender communities and individuals.”

The training will also teach officers to “identify misconceptions” that impact the prevention of hate crimes, understand “civil rights-related issues” relating to transgender individuals, share “best practices” for improving relationships, and develop a “community engagement plan.”

The DOJ has been hosting local, in-person transgender community training for law enforcement since at least 2016, according to a tweet.

The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.

This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.

This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.

Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.

That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
