"The contractor shall not use any workplace training that inculcates in its employees [ . . . ] any form of race or sex scapegoating, including [ . . . ] an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously [ . . . ] members of one race or sex cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race or sex [ . . . ] meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist"

This means that you cannot teach about structural racism, subconscious racism, personalized treatment where it is logical and compassionate rather than racist, or how terms like “meritocracy” are often misused.

You can still work on equity, but you have to be careful not to mention structural racism, or you risk invalidating yourself, or the whole course, or the department.
