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.”

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
@JonBSimConstitution3yrs3Y
If the best plumber in the world is racist, you shouldn't fire him because it has nothing to do with his profession.
@9KVVS2F2yrs2Y
he may be good at his career, but the biaism he has would subconsciously effect the work efficiency, and causing discrimination witch affects peoples light negativity. it is a negative representation of a buisness and allowing it as a buisness is a whole seperate set of yuckyness.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican3mos3MO
Just bc they're racist doesn't mean they should be fired, if they can still do their job well. If it's something like law enforcement, then their racism might get in their way of justice.
@9THP4F7Libertarian1yr1Y
No, I feel that such a thing would bring more attention to race then is needed. If racist actions are seen while working the employer can act according.
@9JNM34RLibertarian2yrs2Y
No, mandating such training can be counterproductive and potentially infringe upon the principles of free speech and individual thought.
@9HK59WKLibertarian2yrs2Y
Only if the person or company has done racist things in the past, it must include intersectionality. And the same thing should be done for LGBTQ sexism ableism or plan employee violence with no bias
@9FWQS3KLibertarian2yrs2Y
NO, most such training I've see only teaches whites to be sensitve to other, but not blacks to be sensistive to white folk
@9FK5JNS2yrs2Y
No, this will only exacerbate racism
@9F2JBH4Libertarian2yrs2Y
Yes, and include sensitivity towards straight white males.
@946MWMTLibertarian3yrs3Y
No, maintaining an inviting workplace is the responsibility of the employer.
@9622H3B3yrs3Y
Yes, as it avoids future lawsuits
@958TZF6Libertarian3yrs3Y
The government should not interfere with private business
@94HSKG83yrs3Y
Yes, this training should be required for GOVERNMENT employees
@93Z87SFLibertarian3yrs3Y
Нет это решать штатам или частным компаниям
@93XL57RLibertarian3yrs3Y
It's 2022, are we really asking this question?
@929MKR6Libertarian3yrs3Y
Yes, but training shouldn't be so overbearing and hypersensitive.
@925BT6PLibertarian4yrs4Y
The federal government should fire over ninety percent of its employees.
@8ZCM6NSLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, because this generally will increase awareness of people's skin colours and encourage division amoungst coworkers.
@8YGDTRGLibertarian4yrs4Y
Race should not be a deciding factor in any government business
@8Y34X8JLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, educate on different races, not to be “sensitive.”
@8Y2XFKKLibertarian4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as it doesn’t force someone to change their views; only to educate.
@7CDW4BTLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, there are already laws that govern the workplace, domicile and education equal opportunity. New required training does not address all racial sensitivities, thus exalting some to an inequity of right.
@8WFKKXVLibertarian4yrs4Y
Why is there a lot of racial questions??
@8W5PTR2Libertarian4yrs4Y
No, people should treat each other fairly and justly no matter the demographic, and this should never be mandated by any government authority.
@8VFPHLVLibertarian4yrs4Y
For government employees, yes, it is their obligation not to oppress. For anyone else, no. They can incentive it by paying them directly to do it, but they cannot force speech.
@8VB72MF4yrs4Y
No, the government should not decide how a business trains the employees.
@8TTTBXZLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, the Federal government should not dictate how a private business must operate...
@8TRB5774yrs4Y
Less government regulation of private business.
@8TLDMVPLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, racial sensitivity training assumes that all incoming white employees are racist, and all minorities are underprivileged, and this is not a good way to defeat racism as it induces self-loathing
@8TDC6FY4yrs4Y
No, I think this is a civic duty and they should learn these during civic education in elementary and high schools Basically, we want the schools also to provide to our nation better, culturalizad, educated, no judgmental individuals.
@8T7H5GN4yrs4Y
Yes, only for government employees. Let private companies determine which training they require.
@8T337J5Libertarian4yrs4Y
Don’t al employers already do that?…
@8SS3KJYLibertarian4yrs4Y
No, the government should not meddle in business. They’re garbage and too powerful already.
@8S9BNBK4yrs4Y
No, the govt should not dictate people's behaviors.
@8R4RLTM5yrs5Y
I don’t care if you are talking about government employees, but they shouldn’t be required if it is a private business
@8R3KJPQLibertarian5yrs5Y
No, critical race theory is racist.
@8QL4XPSLibertarian5yrs5Y
Get rid of the Federal Government.
@8PC94BFLibertarian5yrs5Y
Yes, both government and private companies, cover all protected groups and guidelines for accountability
@8NXWF89Libertarian5yrs5Y
the government should not require it. it should be up to the business themselves, but if they do sensitivity training they need to include all race, religion, sex, disability, etc. and have clear consequences for those found breaking the rules set in place
@8NXVLZFLibertarian5yrs5Y
As long as there IS a federal government...yes.
@8MRZPV7Libertarian5yrs5Y
The federal government should not exist, and therefore have no employees.
@8MNLH4M5yrs5Y
the government itself should not be allowed to be discriminatory but private companies can do as they please
@8L8CZV8Libertarian5yrs5Y
Yes, as long as it covers all protected groups (age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion) and is not based on critical race theory. This requirement should be restricted to its own employees but the curriculum made available to private companies who choose to integrate it.
@YWB69KLibertarian5yrs5Y
I think such requirements in terms of requiring Racial Sensitivity Tanning should only be required and only apply to local , state , and county Police Departments and wether they are required should for those departments be up to the Jerastrictions that govern those departments , and those same Jerastrictions should require that those same departments for law enforcement be required to learn how to deal with children and adults' with Mental Illness and Developmental Disabilities , Like Autism , Down Syndrome etc and again those retirements should be mandated by the Jerastrictions that… Read more
@8H48GSYLibertarian5yrs5Y
The government should not be involved in private businesses business practices
@8GW4VVJLibertarian5yrs5Y
No, but this should be determined by the employers, not the government.
@9CKVKG3Libertarian2yrs2Y
No, and abolish the police.
@9C8NDGPLibertarian2yrs2Y
Such a decision should be decided at the county and municipal levels
@9B28WP4Libertarian3yrs3Y
No. The way they do it now discriminates against white folks.
@4XN47N8Libertarian3yrs3Y
No, just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination by government employees only
@97SPK983yrs3Y
No, and create a new way of racial sensitivity education from birth.
@97NKFS73yrs3Y
No, just fire or don't hire racists
@978QYF4Libertarian3yrs3Y
Not entirely sure what this means.
@8XG6WZLLibertarian4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as it covers all protected groups (age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion) and is not based on critical race theory, and also includes LGBTQ+ topics
@8YJKGZQLibertarian4yrs4Y
All people regardless of race, age, religion, gender, ability should be treated with respect and equality.
@8HL9KSCLibertarian5yrs5Y
The federal government should have reduced control on the private market
