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.…

Schools should be encouraged to promote diversity but should not be allowed to teach superiority or inherent racism
@99LN2FJ1yr1Y
Diversity training shouldn't even be necessary
@99LPPZF1yr1Y
NO just teach your kids that everyone is equal were all human and no one is perfect
@99LDJMH1yr1Y
At the end of the day it's telling us how to act. If people want to discriminate, they'll learn quickly that that behavior isn't tolerable anymore.
@9K99V29 4 days4D
Yes, but only once students are in middle school; before that point only toward students who express bigotry with reasonable doubt
@9MGYS526 days6D
Against baseless training for all students. Not against training students who are racist -- if it works at all.
@9MC5XW7 2wks2W
I believe there should not be diversity training for students, students should learn about diversity
@9LVH98Z4wks4W
In any instance where there is an act of discrimination heavy reprimandation and mandatory training for a set amount of time.
@9LF6CXQ1mo1MO
Mandatory diversity training should be implemented, though according to each level of schooling, and more intently to those who are committing discrimination.
@9LCNZK52mos2MO
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 2mos2MO
No, only if the mandatory diversity training is shown by evidence to improve outcomes in terms of discriminatory acts or implicit bias
@9MFRRD61wk1W
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)
@9MDD3XT1wk1W
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.
@9M6VV842wks2W
kids aren't inherently discriminatory should be taught that people are equal and free to do as they please
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
@9LM9CL7 1mo1MO
Something worth considering, especially in areas without much diversity (to prepare them for the real world)
@9LLW5YW1mo1MO
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 1mo1MO
No, diversity training should be encouraged but only required for students that commit acts of discrimination
@9LJMH9Y1mo1MO
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
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.
@9KC7KKX3mos3MO
Yes, they should get exposed to different perspectives and problems in the world without bias or prejudice.
Deleted3mos3MO
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.
@9JZ3MFT3mos3MO
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.
@9JXVC9R3mos3MO
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.
@9JMRHK74mos4MO
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?
@9J36S7C4mos4MO
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.
@9HSGSGP5mos5MO
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 5mos5MO
Yes, but only in the guise of Critical Race Theory and it should be voluntary and with parental permission.
@9F8MGYB8mos8MO
Yes, but in a unique way more tailored to teenagers
@9F56K6ZLibertarian8mos8MO
No, this will only lead to more conflict and animosity.
@9F2H5ZT 9mos9MO
it should be for the students that exhibit acts of discrimination
@9DRGWJN9mos9MO
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.
@99LN84Z1yr1Y
as long as they arent hypocritical about it
@99LMTKDIndependent1yr1Y
Public schools should not be able to but private schools should
@99LM4CQ1yr1Y
No but they should allow it to be an option
@99LK9M71yr1Y
perhaps it could be optional
@99LK46Z1yr1Y
If it’s needed at that school
@99LJKFW1yr1Y
I believe that schools should do diversity training but not make it mandatory
@99LFW2R1yr1Y
Not so much training but making an optional class
@99LFT2G1yr1Y
No, only if there are complaints about racism
@99LFJ4Z1yr1Y
No, but I believe it should be an option
