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.

Definitely for factors that people do not have a choice over, such as skin colour or country of birth.

Be very gentle, TOLERANCE more than anything. 0 bullying. But more importantly, hate is learnt, & taught by parent(usually) i think assessment interactive test to gain a parent's levels of homophobia racism misogyny Islamaphobia. *ROLEPLAY teen coming out and what/how they react to it.
@9GNXXXT6mos6MO
Invest in arts and culture and the liberal arts to encourage experiences of different backgrounds, as well as mental health support to students. It should be a last resort.
@9FQ2ZJY7mos7MO
Yes, but the importance/ value of this should be given regular review.
@9FHC68P7mos7MO
Only at the optional choice of the student
@9FBVJ5GNew Democratic7mos7MO
Yes, also creating awareness of Indigenous peoples history due to Canada. Discrimination against Indigenous peoples needs to stop. Every other race or culture is respected or unbothered. Educate! Or the cycle of disrespect and racism will only continue.

Students should be taught about oppression and oppressors. Gender identity and critical race theory. Students should be taught respect LGBTQIA+ people, minorities and other POC. Diversity training will be helpfu in reducing bullying. It shouldn't be forced but strongly encouraged.
@9F5FC8S 8mos8MO
Cultural sensitivity training should be mandatory for students who demonstrate a prejudice (along with a consequence and inquiry into the origins of the learned behaviour). All students should be subject to mandatory diversity training in differences universal to all humans, like gender and disability.
@9F3YN588mos8MO
Yes, children can be mean and teaching them about discrimination could help prevent bullying. We want equality therefore we learn and avoid discrimination.
@9CMHBM810mos10MO
Only for students that commit acts of discrimination AND all white people
@9CCJF6211mos11MO
No, it should be encouraged and optional, but only required for those who commit acts of discrimination
@99VNGRP1yr1Y

@99RSJ3M1yr1Y
i'd just stick to the curriculum
@99LTY5Y1yr1Y
Schools should be required to include diversity awareness/sensitivity in the education plan for students.
@99LHJQW1yr1Y

No, and "diversity" training should be banned for pushing terrorist propaganda.
@9BXP6MQ12mos12MO
Go over basic respect and tolerance
@9BK2RQ61yr1Y
Encourage teaching of black history, as well as other marginalized histories in Canadian school textbooks for students, but also fund museums which allow people to tell their stories. But for staff, also have training available for them.
