The United States Forest Service has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a diversity consulting firm to hold a series of “intercultural communication diversity dialogue circle” workshops, federal records show.
These diversity circles, according to the website of the contractor hosting them, prompt Forest Service employees to discuss their feelings on racial issues and push white staffers to be better “allies” to minorities. The diversity circles are just one component of a broader diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy adopted by the Forest Service under the Biden administration.
