The California State Board of Pharmacy is refusing to renew pharmacy licenses until the license holder completes a DEI-inspired "cultural competency and humility" training.

A California pharmacist recently blew the whistle on the matter and published screenshots of the woke training on X.

The training teaches pharmacists that Christians, males, white people, straight people, and US citizens are "privileged" societal classes. It also includes other controversial material on topics such as racism, systems of oppression, intersectionality, colonization, and colonialism.

In one slide, pharmacists are forced to learn about the negative impacts of "Western Culture: 'Current Ways of Being.'"

The training claims that there is a "dominant group" in Western society. The definition of a dominant group is a "societal group that has access to economic, social, political and civic resources which comes to be viewed as privileges over time. This is a societal group, through its collective activity, turns that privilege over time into societal power."



It then lists examples of privileged classes in the United States which include men, white people, upper class/wealthy, heterosexual persons, cis-gendered persons, United States citizens, able-bodied persons, Christians, and highly educated persons.

On the next slide, pharmacists get to learn about systems of oppression and social identity dimensions.



Pharmacists are then shown a chart that links "health disparities" to "intersectionality."



Furthermore, the training forces them to learn about the effects of colonialism and colonization on pre-colonial ways of being, which teaches about racism, whiteness, and the erasure of gender and sexual identities.



The diversity, equity, and inclusion training requirement follows the passing of the progressive California Assembly Bill, AB 2194, which was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sept. 30, 2022. The law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2024.

The bill requires that pharmacists and pharmacy technicians complete the DEI coursework if they want to keep their jobs, and requires that the training adhere to the following guidelines:
 
  1. The course focuses on patients who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender nonconforming, or queer, or who question their sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.
  2. The course is approved from an accreditation agency approved by the board.
  3. The course covers recognized health disparities faced by “Black, Indigenous, and people of color.“
  4. The course contains elements demonstrating how sexual identity is directly impacted through intersectionality.
According to the bill, the law "prohibits the board from renewing a pharmacist license after the first renewal unless the applicant submits proof satisfactory to the board that the applicant has successfully completed 30 hours of approved courses of continuing pharmacy education."

This bill also requires "that those 30 hours of approved courses of continuing pharmacy education include at least one hour of participation in a cultural competency course, as defined."

Additionally, the bill "prohibits the board from renewing a pharmacy technician license unless the applicant submits proof satisfactory to the board that the applicant has successfully completed at least one hour of participation in a cultural competency course during the two years preceding the application for renewal."
