US Congress Approves Mandatory Anti-Sexual Harassment Training

The U.S. Congress, confronting allegations of sexual misconduct by several lawmakers, has approved legislation requiring all 535 members and their staffs to undergo mandatory anti-sexual harassment training.

The Senate approved the training earlier this month and the House of Representatives unanimously approved the new measures Wednesday amid a wave of accusations in recent weeks against prominent executives in the U.S. film industry, corporate chieftains, political figures and well-known journalists. Numerous men have been fired or forced to resign their high-profile positions, while others have apologized or denied the accusations.

"Sexual harassment has no place in any workplace, let alone in the United States Congress," House Speaker Paul Ryan said ahead of the House vote.

"The fact that some people [who] end up walking these halls are subjected to a threatening or hostile work environment when they came here to serve their country, to serve their ideals — that’s wrong, that’s a disgrace," Ryan said. "We cannot and we will not tolerate that kind of behavior.”

Look, all this training is a part of the personal growth process. We all benefit from having better congress people. They make mistakes and learn while people who are more qualified and could do congress critters jobs' with one hand behind their backs are forced to watch the $#@! show from aside.
