Today, the Huffington Post (HP) reports that Alaska officials are investigating racist jokes about President-elect Barack Obama that have circulated on state e-mail accounts. HP reports that it appears the original e-mails were sent to state employees from outside the state system, but some state employees forwarded them. According to HP, the personnel files of state workers who circulated the jokes will be examined for a pattern of similar behavior and that discipline will be determined by past behaviors and could range from diversity training to letters of reprimand.
I know that Alaska is somewhat remote geographically from the lower 48 states, but is it also so remote from mainstream America that diversity training is considered a form of discipline?
