In September 2020 the Trump administration issued an executive order which prohibited federal agencies, companies with federal contracts and recipients of federal grants from participating in training that “promotes race or sex-stereotyping or scapegoating.” Prohhibted topics include “divisive concepts” in which one race or sex is inherently superior to another; the U.S. is fundamentally racist or sexist and a person should feel some form of psychological distress on account of their race or sex. In January 2021 President Biden revoked the executive order and issued a new order which affirmed that “equal opportunity is the bedrock of American democracy, and our diversity in one of our country’s greatest strengths.”
@ISIDEWITH2yrs
No, just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination
@ISIDEWITH2yrs
Yes, and also include LGBTQ+ topics
@ISIDEWITH2yrs
Yes, as long as it covers all protected groups (age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion) and is not based on critical race theory
@ISIDEWITH2yrs
Yes, and extend the requirement to private companies as well
No but if you know an employee is without a doubt and have proof he/she is racist to any one regardless of color they should be fired
@8NG6VHB2yrs
I Don't understand what this means
@8HZ5PCR2yrs
No, and get rid of all this forced diversity bs.
Racial sensitivity training does not work.
@98YFGRZ2 days
If they want too no one is stopping them
@98Y5MXK2 days
if people do not know how to ct around each other than maybe they shouldn't be working for the government.
@98XZSP62 days
"Training" won't change a person's mindset. Add more consequences to those who harass others on any basis.
Yes, and extend the requirement to private companies as well, and include LGBTQ+ topics, age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and not base it on critical race theory.
@98VSH781wk
Yes, and also include LGBTQ+ topics as well as extend the requirement to private companies and must covers all protected groups (age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion) . Lastly, also ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination.
@98VP58G1wk
No, this makes gender stand out when we are supposed to be equal
@98V69YK1wk
No, just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination, and heavily enforce these rules
@98TPRYZ1wk
Racial sensitivity training is not needed at all and should not be a requirement.
@98STYX32wks
No, because this would just decrease the possibility of "racial blindness"
@98SFLLB2wks
Freedom of speech is our number one right
@98SD5692wks
Certain departments shall receive more intensive training than others
Yes, and it should be a well-written curriculum
Yes, and it should cover all protected groups and be based in critical race theory.
@98QRT3C2wks
No, and repeal laws protecting minority groups.
@98QJ2LM2wks
they should train employees to handle racial and LGBTQ+ topics as well as mental and developmental issues that are not based on race or gender.
@98PXCTH3wks
Yes, however training should not be tied to employment, but rather universal education.
@98PNDJW3wks
Yes, and include LGBTQ+ topics as well as critical race theory
@98NY4SJ3wks
no and get rid of affirmative action
@98NPDGL3wks
No, millennials should grow some balls and have respect for others.
@98NGL9Z3wks
Yes, and all protected groups(age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity) should be covered and this should also apply to all corporations
@98MJDGZ3wks
No, just address racism in the workplace and establish rules that create a welcoming environment for minorities.
It should be encouraged, but not a requirement
@98K23TB4wks
No. If they aren't actively being racist and it's an issue, it shouldn't affect their jobs.
@98JCL9G4wks
Yes, as well as well as other forms of minorities.
@98J8KN21mo
No, private companies should decide whether they offer this.
@98HFRNP1mo
No, it should be up to private companies to decide whether to offer this.
@98H79FX1mo
No, and it should be made it illegal nationwide.
@98FY5KX1mo
Only for federal employees and programs funded directly with federal funds.
No, most federal employees are woke enough. Such training is unnecessary.
@98F4TTF2mos
Don't teach Critical Race Theory. CRT only divides us. We should take action when discrimination of any kind occurs in an employment or any setting.
@98DWYWR2mos
Yes and also include LGBTQ+ topics and extend the requirement to private companies as well
@98CK7932mos
Requiring training does not address who does the training, so until that element of this question is addressed, I'll say 'no.'
@98BZSH72mos
Yes, also include LGBTQ+ topics, and extend the requirement to private companies
@98BKM2K2mos
If it's clear that the employee isn't already aware of being racially sensitive then yes, but it shouldn't be a mandate.
No, but the employee can so if they wish
@98B4H8S2mos
Yes, but depends on what business they are employed at
@98B2R8T2mos
Only if it covers ALL groups - not just so called "protected groups". All human beings are important and need to be recognized as potential victims of discrimination, prejudice, and hatred.
@989X23F2mos
Yes, but do not make it mandatory for all employees to go through.
@989GRJV2mos
Depends on the curriculum
