BREAKING: Mandatory Racial/Sexual Equity, El Paso Public Employees
The City of El Paso has added Marxism to the conditions of employment.
Yet another city has been exposed for mandating a belief in racial and sexual equity as a condition of employment.
Cowtown Caller has previously shown light on these mandates at other localities including Harris County (Houston) and the cities of Austin and San Antonio. (READ MORE: Racial Equity Mandatory, Harris County Employees)
The City of El Paso has become the latest instance of racial/sexual equity, neo-Marxist political theories, becoming a mandated belief and duty for certain public employees.

“Develop and oversee public awareness efforts pertaining to equity, diversity, and inclusion,” a section of the Civic Empowerment Project Manager job description reads.
El Paso’s language is the least transparent of the jurisdictions identified by Cowtown Caller.
However, equity theory, when it is understood within a Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) context refers to racial and sexual equity (among other equity theories). These theories hold certain groups of people usually Caucasians, males, heterosexuals, or those who identify with the gender they were born as oppressors.
Equity theory contends that these groups have committed past grievances against other groups that are identified as either “oppressed” or “minoritized” and concludes that the oppressive groups must now be discriminated against to achieve an “equitable” outcome.
This thinking is reflected in the Empowerment Project Manager’s duties. The long-form job description charges the position with ensuring “equitable treatment of individuals [citizens of El Paso].”
More than just mandating the belief, El Paso’s job description charges the Manager with ensuring all public employees work towards racial/sexual equity. The City Empowerment Project Manager “Develops citywide performance indicators and progress benchmarks to ensure accountability towards equitable delivery of services.”
This language allows the manager to develop metrics for what satisfies progress toward equity and then to measure the performance of other public employees’ and programs’ compliance with these arbitrary standards.
Cowtown Caller’s research has not revealed any other political or ideological belief to be treated in this way by the City of El Paso.
El Paso does not mandate other political ideologies (like Patriotism or Nationalism) from employees nor does it hire full-time civil servants to measure other officials or departments’ work toward the worldly manifestation of those beliefs.
