A “Cultural Competence Training” that asks participants who should live or die in a hypothetical scenario in which the world is ending has drawn criticism from some online observers.
Doug Ponder, a biblical studies professor at Grimke Seminary in Virginia, tweeted a copy of the training March 14, writing: “A friend of mine, who works in a public university, sent this to me earlier this week.”
Ponder, also a pastor at Remnant Church in Virginia, continued in his tweet that what he posted is page one of a diversity, equity and inclusion training his friend’s department was “forced to take,” starting with “an exercise that asks which intersectional identities you’d save and which you’d leave to die.”
