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: 1.…

Yes, but contextualize it in the traditional understanding of respecting differences, including not only race, gender, etc., but also intellectual, philosophical, and moral differences
@9R7D9R86 days6D
No, diversity training should be encouraged and students committing acts of discrimination should be expelled
@9LJMH9Y3mos3MO
All schools should be private, then they can choose what to do. If folks don't like the requirements at a specific school they can find one that aligns with there beliefs
@9LF6CXQ4mos4MO
Mandatory diversity training should be implemented, though according to each level of schooling, and more intently to those who are committing discrimination.
@9LCNZK54mos4MO
a lot of kids commit acts of discrimination daily in schools witch I don't think a lot of people are aware of but it is a big problem in schools all over the nation so I feel like they shouldn't teach that but they should make it not a normal thing to say
@9DPDZBG 4mos4MO
No, only if the mandatory diversity training is shown by evidence to improve outcomes in terms of discriminatory acts or implicit bias
If kids are forced to sit through training of other kinds, they will see diversity training the same way. Just another factor of life to give you more information about other people. I think it should be a class taken instead.
@9QDQCM33wks3W
Diversity has no place in education. Schools should be exclusive to those who wish to pursue knowledge out of their own pocket. Not everybody can or should enroll.
@9MMY4LT2mos2MO
Why would we need diversity training it doesn't seem something that anybody needs and if someone does make fun of someone else then they should be punished
@9K99V29 2mos2MO
Yes, but only once students are in middle school; before that point only toward students who express bigotry with reasonable doubt
@9MGYS522mos2MO
Against baseless training for all students. Not against training students who are racist -- if it works at all.
@9MFRRD62mos2MO
No, it shouldn't be mandatory unless someone commits major acts of discrimination or continues committing minor acts (ex: not insulting a person of foreign culture, but if they do it over the semester or do any larger acts like physical violence)
@9MDD3XT3mos3MO
yes, in public schools, and penalize behavior to an appropriate degree. Private schools should be incentivized financially to do this. It should be obvious which institutions do not want diversity taught as a norm—but it is an American value and should be taught in schools.
@9MC5XW7 3mos3MO
I believe there should not be diversity training for students, students should learn about diversity
@9M6VV843mos3MO
kids aren't inherently discriminatory should be taught that people are equal and free to do as they please
@9LY3SH7Peace and Freedom3mos3MO
i feel as if people should be mature enough to already not be racist, it should't be taught to not be racist. If people aren't able to do a be surrounded by people of all race without feeling hatred o anything they should remove themselves or keep it to them selves. but i guess yea
@9LVH98Z3mos3MO
In any instance where there is an act of discrimination heavy reprimandation and mandatory training for a set amount of time.
@9LM9CL7 3mos3MO
Something worth considering, especially in areas without much diversity (to prepare them for the real world)
@9LLW5YW3mos3MO
No, I think that diversity training can have inverse effects than wanted. By teaching the future of America that people are inherently different it causes more divisive thinking. If we want to move forward as a country and try to overall reduce acts of discrimination, we need to learn to think of each others as equal by not thinking of differences in race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation at all.
@JcawolfsonIndependent 3mos3MO
No, diversity training should be encouraged but only required for students that commit acts of discrimination
@9KC7KKX5mos5MO
Yes, they should get exposed to different perspectives and problems in the world without bias or prejudice.
Deleted5mos5MO
I'm impartial with diverse students training, the federal government controls some state to make it accessible to minorities including whites; and make this training as an requirement and optional depending on parts of country is at.
@9JZ3MFT5mos5MO
I think diversity training should be a program/course offered to college students as an elective, and give colleges the choice to offer it or not.
@9JXVC9R5mos5MO
No, instead, put more focus on the histories of other countries and on pre-WWII history. The cirriculum is biased towards the late modern and contemporary eras, and does not do justice to the histories of the world. I'm not saying get rid of US history, I'm saying we need a LOT more history courses than English courses.
@9JMRHK76mos6MO
What on earth is mandatory diversity training for student? Why would students need that? Or is that accurate history which I think that everyone needs?
@9J36S7C7mos7MO
Yes, but only if always regulated and put through change and supervision to make sure it's intents are morally true. Ex. Make sure children are not conditioned to believe negatively/ believe that all are not equal.
@9HSGSGP7mos7MO
Add general tolerance awareness to anti-bullying awareness programs in schools. Only have mandatory diversity training for K-12 public school in reaction to tragedies in the community. There should be mandatory training for college freshmen though,
@zackrspv 8mos8MO
Yes, but only in the guise of Critical Race Theory and it should be voluntary and with parental permission.
@9F8MGYB11mos11MO
Yes, but in a unique way more tailored to teenagers
@9F56K6ZLibertarian11mos11MO
No, this will only lead to more conflict and animosity.
@9F2H5ZT 11mos11MO
it should be for the students that exhibit acts of discrimination
@9DRGWJN11mos11MO
No, we need to raise kids to be racially color blind
I believe that these ideas should be brought up into school unless it is gender or sexuality, teaching these things would bring more kids wanting to be transgender, etc.
