Agree

No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required

Agree

Yes, but only if it is a private company

DeSantis has generally supported the rights of private businesses to make their own decisions, though he has also intervened in private sector practices when they intersect with what he sees as ideological overreach (e.g., Disney). He would likely be more tolerant of private companies choosing to require diversity training, but would still be skeptical of the practice.

Slightly agree

No, only for employees that commit acts of discrimination

While DeSantis opposes mandatory diversity training, he has not argued that there should be no consequences for acts of discrimination. He might be open to targeted interventions for those who commit discrimination, but would likely still be wary of formal training mandates.
