Trump orders end of racial sensitivity training
White House Orders End Of ‘Un-American’ Racial Sensitivity Training At Federal Agencies
I heard that this order actually came about due the recent events at Sandia. The issue that I am puzzled about is if this actually would still effect Sandia since I do not thing they are actually a Federally run facility.

I agree with the Trump administration on almost nothing except this.
The NNSA is a federal agency and LLNS is a federal contractor among others.
Sandia is, as are LLNL and LANL, a GOCO - Government Owned, Contractor Operated.
or in simpler terms: My Money, My Rules.
"overnment Owned, Contractor Operated.
or in simpler terms: My Money, My Rules."
Does that mean they are going to get rid of this training at Sandia? Can Sandia say, do not tell us how to run our place, if we want to go full SJW than that is our decision, or does the DOE say nope our money, do not spend it on this junk.
"Sandia" is part of the DOE. The Contractor has no right to spend DOE money without authorization.
Sandia (or LLNL, or LANL) can do whatever it wants with award fee money or its own money and can put corresponding requirements on its employees. Not with fed money though, unless approved in the contract.

Not on government property they can't. If they want to have this type of training and it isn't supported by the DOE, it will have to be off government property and off government hours of operation.

Look who cares. Trump is a lame duck anyway, he can cancel the training for what a month and a half at most. Once he is gone the training starts up again in November. The better questions is if this type training will really start to get intense under Biden and Harris.
We have to face facts that this training is going to stay or even expand. I can imagine there will be more mandatory training for certain groups. Maybe the level of training you will have to take will have "racial" or "ethnic" gradient as certain groups will nee more than others, so none at all. We need to make a set of racial laws about how much CRT training you need based on your race. I know this seems a bit complex but it has been done in the past so we should be able to do this as well.
According to polling, I think Trump will a one term president. Expect this stuff to be widely implemented by a Biden presidency. I agree with the poster about “racial laws”. We’re headed in that direction. What the poster means by “this has been done in the past” should terrify everyone.

You are wrong. The contractors can conduct whatever contractor-specific training they want if it is funded by the contractor. The contractor "rents" all of the facility space.

Not correct. Space at Sandia is not "rented" by the prime contractor. Any space paid for by government funds (not fee) or provided for use by the government cannot be used. I have been in the position to manage just this sort of corporate event. Unless the DOE specifically sanctions the event via contract, it cannot occur in a government facility. Go ahead and try if you don't believe me.... and why does it matter. If you believe in it so strongly, go rent some space in ABQ. Problem you have is your employees will tire of your pseudo-science.

That is my sense as well. I think the Trump directive only effects things that are directly run by the Feds. Since so much is contracted out it may not effect all that many places in the end and is just a symbolic gesture.
You can tell by this tread that the Lab employees and managers have no idea who owns or runs the National Labs. Maybe they consider this training as well?
It's not that difficult. The federal government owns the national lab facilities and property. The contractor runs the facilities under a specific contract for a specific time, under specific performance requirements. The contractor may also be subject to state requirements such as environmental regulations where such state authority has been granted by Congress.
Hey genius, go back to civics class. The next President takes over on January 20th, not November 3rd—I don’t care what CNN is claiming.

You should be specific about whom you are replying to, otherwise it just comes off as meaningless ranting.
