American Express has embarked on “racial justice” initiatives including woke employee training programs. Sadly, the remedies advocated in these sessions ignore basic principles of economics and equality. If AmEx truly embraced them, it would upend its business model and ultimately collapse.

The Manhattan Institute’s Christopher Rufo obtained whistleblower documents about the trainings and has viewed statements made at the company’s anti-racism events. His conclusion: AmEx employees and executives are being asked to disregard their real-world experience and virtually everything they’ve been taught about economics. They’re also being asked to ignore equal opportunity laws. Instead, employees are urged to base their business actions on a warped definition of “justice.”
