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.

Yes, but instead of those low cost diversity training videos that just tells people to not discriminate, design actual program that encourage collaboration and celebrate diversity.
@B2JKHRW1mo1MO
Yes, but We need a better definition of diversity, which goes beyond sex, race or gender identity and include cultural and cognitive diversities
@B22MJBC3mos3MO
No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required, and any faculty member that commits acts of discrimination should be expelled.
@9YK7T9B4mos4MO
No, but mainly because mandatory diversity training is usually not the most effective way to create a better workplace environment for marginalized groups. Schools should focus on initiatives that bolster connection and open-mindedness in ways that work.

Unfortunately in education, we always take things to an extreme to overcorrect past wrongs. Then we find ourselves overcorrecting our overcorrections. Diversity training or training in multicultural education should be a part of our inservice development for teachers so that we understand how to meet the needs and be aware of all the students we service. We must never EVER use this type of training to make current students ashamed of their heritage, race or sex.
@9G7KWZY1yr1Y
Yes, but only for populations that historically have been oppressed by the education system directly (I.e., Disabled and Indigenous Students)
@9FQ2ZJY1yr1Y
No schools should have a code of conduct that recognizes respect for people of all backgrounds, abilities, gender expression etc..these courses should be a part of professional training of young people, and part of the expectation of conduct of all employees.
@9FGJD5C1yr1Y
NO, it should not happen anywhere
