Can watch here for the initial interview if you like:

.
Hasbro basically held a meeting or w/e they're called that many employees attended. (At least one employee claims it was mandatory, Hasbro claims it was optional)
.
The conference involved a group called the "Conscious Kid" coming in and basically promoting critical race theory, saying that kids as young as 3 months will already be displaying signs of racial discrimination. Their goal from my understanding is to work WITH Hasbro to put more CRT stuff into toy products and packaging so that children will stop being racist and learn how to think the way Conscious Kid deems acceptable.
.
What they didn't realize was that same employee was recording the entire thing
The employee went to Project Veritas and released the video.
.
Hasbro responded by suspending the employee's access and claiming they didn't endorse the video necessarily, and that it was (again) optional - not mandatory. The employee himself said he was required to attend it
.
The conscious Kid threw a HUGE fit and basically accused the employee/Veritas of editing the footage (despite them playing the CRT clip in it's entirety as far as I can tell), and spreading lies
I mean, their premise isn’t wrong. Children are awful, they will discriminate based on race if there is more of one skin colour but they’ll discriminate based on anything their very very very very short experience with life tells them is “weird” which to them just means “not something I’ve seen as often as other things”
You have buck teeth? Discriminated
You are white in an all black kindergarten? Discriminated
You hold your spoon slightly differently? Discriminated
It’s awful but it’s how children just are because they have existed for a very short amount of time, not because they are “racist”
Learning to not be that way is just part of growing up, it’s a phase that needs to be grown out of, not skipped, if that experience isn’t part of a persons growth one way or the other they won’t know how to deal with it happening in a serious environment internally.
