The Minneapolis healthcare network that includes the hospital where George Floyd was declared dead is mandating thousands of employees sit through a woke training video that includes a flowchart explaining who can and can’t say the N-word.

The Hennepin County Medical Center, part of the largest public health network in Minneapolis, added the bizarre “language training” module to its mandatory education for its 7,000 staffers in January,  a whistleblower at the center told The Post.

The internal video, obtained by The Post via the medical watchdog Do No Harm, dives headfirst into slur territory — focusing almost entirely on the N-word, its history, and its so-called “reclamation.”

Employees are told using the slur marks a “never event” in the workplace, even if they’re singing along to a song or given permission, and that violating the rule could get them fired, but only if the employee is “not black.”

“If you’re still wondering if you can say the N-word or not, allow me to simplify it even more with this point chart,” a narrator tells staff in the training video. 

“If you are not black, you cannot say the word — not even if it ends with ‘a’ instead of ‘er,’ there’s no excuse. And if you are black, it is up to you, whether you choose to reclaim the word or not.”

The nearly 8-minute video is packed with political commentary and Black Lives Matter protest imagery.

It also lists several other words and phrases that are verboten, including “that’s crazy,” “pow-wow,” or “guru,” since they can be “historically stigmatizing” against certain cultural backgrounds or people with mental health conditions.

“Some phrases even have explicitly racist origins, such as ‘peanut gallery,’ which refer to the cheap seats in theaters often reserved for black patrons,” the narrator explains.

The whistleblower, who has worked at the Hennepin County Medical Center for years and requested to remain anonymous, said the video “felt like indoctrination.”

“This isn’t a workplace issue. Nobody’s using this language here. It felt like a political commentary, not professional training.”

The video is backed by the medical center’s “Health Equity Department,” which declares racism “an ongoing public health crisis that urgently demands more focused attention” and vows to bring “a DEI lens to patient care.”

Dr. Kurt Miceli, medical director at DNH, called the video “highly unorthodox” and said using a flowchart for who can and can’t say a racial slur is “inappropriate and misguided.”

“Racial slurs are ‘never events’ for all, not some.”

The training module concludes by asking employees to consider whether their words contribute to “healing.”

But for the whistleblower, the effect is just the opposite.

“This doesn’t reduce harm,” the person said. “It’s causing it. People are more anxious, more divided. We’re supposed to be helping patients, not policing thought.”

The training reflects a broader pattern in woke medicine. 

Last July, staff at West Midlands NHS Trust in the UK were told to “admit they have white privilege” or risk being labeled racist in a mandatory hospital training. “If you say you don’t have white privilege, you’re racist,” one stunned employee recalled being told.

In 2023, DNH revealed that SUNY Downstate’s medical school in Brooklyn earned a “100% diversity score” and bragged about giving faculty stipends to attend “minority faculty development” conferences, part of what critics say is creeping critical race theory in medicine.

Many institutions have quietly scaled back or eliminated DEI initiatives after President Trump argued it is discriminatory and signed several executive orders aimed at “ending” it in the workforce.

“Hennepin Healthcare affirms its commitment to creating a safe, inclusive environment for all, which means that all employees are expected to use appropriate language in the workplace,” a Hennepin Healthcare spokesperson told The Post.

“We do not condone language that is divisive or rooted in racism or inequality, regardless of the speaker’s race or ethnicity. Such behavior is contrary to our values and will be addressed appropriately.”

You can’t draw it up much better to ease drought this spring in Minnesota.

On the map below, take a look at Thursday’s drought conditions update for Minnesota. See the lingering abnormally dry to drought zone in southern Minnesota?

That’s where some of the heaviest rain fell Thursday night. Check out the storm arcing through southern Minnesota Thursday evening:

Between 1 and 3 inches of rain fell across many locations in the south. A soaking 2.94 inches was recorded at Hollandale in Freeborn County north of Albert Lea.

Here is a list of the highest totals from the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network.

Rainfall was lighter in most of the Twin Cities with many area picking up less than one-half inch of rain.

There was some scattered storm damage in parts of southern Minnesota. The National Weather Service reports:

• [Delayed Report] 2 NW Faribault [Rice Co, MN] Trained Spotter reports Tstm Wnd Dmg at 17 Apr, 5:48 PM CDT — Delayed report of a snapped 12 to 15 inch tree branch on the southern side of the Faribault Golf & Country Club. Time estimated from radar.

• 4 S Easton [Faribault Co, MN] Trained Spotter reports Tstm Wnd Dmg at 17 Apr, 5:30 PM CDT — Power poles now have a lean and pull towards the ground. Part of the roof of a barn was damaged and blown into a grove of trees on the property. Time of damage estimated from radar.

Many locations around Minnesota reported small hail Thursday but overall there was little damage from Thursday’s storms.

Minnesota international students suing over the loss of their legal status are seeing their first wins in court.

The legal victory is temporary but significant, as international students fight to complete their education in the U.S.

Attorney David Wilson represents two clients who recently saw a victory in the courtroom in the form of a temporary restraining order.

“At this point, they are relieved that their court has seen the value of their case and their challenge to what has happened to them,” Wilson said.

Ziliang Jin, an international student from China pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Minnesota, had his legal status terminated on April 8.

He believes it’s because of his traffic citations.

“A minor infraction is not a break in one’s status,” Wilson said.

In a letter to the court, Jin said, “Ever since I found out that ICE terminated my SEVIS, I’ve been consumed by fear and anxiety.”

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Bryan granted him relief, stating, “The court finds that plaintiff faces irreparable harm.”

This comes just days after Metropolitan State University nursing student Rattanand Ratsantiboon was granted the same relief.

According to court documents, Ratsantiboon has two prior driving convictions, including a third-degree DWI in 2018.

In his affidavit, he pleaded to the court to let him finish his semester at school after paying more than $7,000.

“If I’m not able to complete this semester, all this money, time and energy will have been lost,” he wrote.

Wilson says this is more than a legal win, but a temporary lifeline

“We are happy that the court is taking this first step — it’s one of many steps that’s going to happen — but at this point, it’s at least providing some assurance to students who are coming forward,” Wilson said.

Hearings are scheduled in both cases, where the court will decide whether the temporary relief will be extended.

Another international student in Minnesota, Dogukan Gunaydin, who was arrested by ICE last month, at least until his next hearing scheduled for May 6.
