Diversity training is any program designed to facilitate positive intergroup interaction, reduce prejudice and discrimination, and generally teach individuals who are different from others how to work together effectively. On April 22, 2022, Florida Governor DeSantis signed into law the “Individual Freedom Act.” The bill prohibited schools and companies from mandating diversity training as a requirement for attendance or employment. If schools or employers violated the law they would be exposed to expanded civil liability exposures. Banned mandatory training topics include:…

I believe race does not matter.
@984THC81yr1Y
I feel we shouldn't need diversity training at all but also that people should not go uneducated.
@99BZXYV1yr1Y
Public schools should not have mandatory training, private institutions can require whatever they want.
@9859G4C1yr1Y
It doesn't need to be banned or required.
@984YHN61yr1Y
No, but there should be a limit for the requirements.
@984XLPN1yr1Y
No, but I think it should be optional
@9848RYK1yr1Y
No, but I would never support such training regardless.
@984GDSB1yr1Y
Not be required but should not be banned either.
@984FWT51yr1Y
I think it is important to make employees and participants more aware of diversity issues, especially in a teaching environment. But I don't think it should be mandated, I think it should be recommended to people who might need it.
@984BRGK1yr1Y
Introduction when little but no need for training simply education
@984BRCHIndependent1yr1Y
Depends if the person really knows and is certain about knowing how to do the job
@984B66P1yr1Y
Yes, only of a person is found to be disrespectful toward others
@983G8KB1yr1Y
It should be up to the company.
@983FS6W1yr1Y
Im in the middle for this question
if needed yes but why would someone have to be trained to not be racist
@983F5MF1yr1Y
Only if the employee was found being offensive
@983F49X1yr1Y
Not banned but shouldn’t be required
@983DSTQ1yr1Y
Doesn't really mater to me
No, diversity is a necessity in the work area, without diversity training some people may find it harder to work with another ethnicity.
@983CYBN1yr1Y
They should if they're bigoted, but if they're already nice to people regardless, they don't need to.
@983CHB51yr1Y
Ban the requirement but still encourage employees to go through it
@983BJ8M1yr1Y
Employees and students don't need training so long as their ideas don't interfere with their work or peers. For example, a college professor can have any idea so long as they are not trying to force his or her ideas onto his or her students.
@9833FDT1yr1Y
should not be forced but highly encouraged
@98333RWLibertarian1yr1Y
I think it should be encouraged rather than required
@9832P9M1yr1Y
No, but they should be aloud to put penalties in place for acts of discrimination.
@98286YY1yr1Y
shii if Harrison arkansas or zinc arkansas then yes
@98323PZProgressive1yr1Y
Schools and companies should require diversity training and other training for preventative factors or dealing/helping with various people/situations.
@982ZNJ41yr1Y
I don't think it was helpful in the first place
@982ZH4T1yr1Y
No. I don't think they should be banned from doing the training but they should have the choice.
@982ZDX71yr1Y
I don't really think that we should ban companies and schools from doing such things just that they overuse this and I believe that the community are very diverse and equal and I understand that in some places that is not the case but I don't think it should be a requirement do such things nor should we ban it from ever happening.
@982Z3QH1yr1Y
No, unless it's a public school then the community should decide as they're the ones paying for it. Any private schools or companies can do whatever diversity training they want, and their customers/employees/students can decide where to spend their money.
@982Z3GN1yr1Y
I don't think it should be banned but it shouldn't be required.
@982YJ3N1yr1Y
Yes, however the diversity training should be reviewed by a third-party organization.
@982YCLR1yr1Y
Not banned, but the training shouldn't be pervasive
@982Y8R31yr1Y
No, but I don't think it should be mandatory either
@982Y5L9Libertarian1yr1Y
you need to have a choice
@982XQZKRepublican1yr1Y
No, but it shouldn't be required either. All people are people and equal, that's that.
@982XN281yr1Y
i really don't get this question.
@982X9HF1yr1Y
It depends on what the company or school is
@982WHLM1yr1Y
you shouldn't be required to go unless being forced by an IA investigation.
@982W9YF1yr1Y
I think people should already know how to respect others and it really shouldn't be taught.
@982TJ8RProgressive1yr1Y
I dont think anyone cares about diversity training nor does it help
@982RL8C1yr1Y
I don't understand why schools are labeled in this argument.
@982QQXZIndependent1yr1Y
Public institutions yes, private institutions no
@982QMWZ1yr1Y
for cultural sensitivity
@982QHN8Progressive1yr1Y
I have never heard of diversity training
@982QF2M1yr1Y
I believe it’s the free market the government has no say let the people decide if they want diversity training.
