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
@9FNGZNH7mos7MO
Diversity training is muddied by opinions, biases (ironic, really) and the needs of the few outweighing the needs of the many.

No, only for employees that commit acts of discrimination

Allowing it to get to this situation is representative of the fact that training should have been given in the first place.

No, trying to force people who have carried genuine beliefs for decades won’t be sorted with a hour training session. Maybe a diversity celebration day instead of training.
@9LCPJ9S3wks3W
Yes, but only if the training is inclusive to ALL people. This would also include people with disabilities and racism against white people should be treated the same as racism against black or Asian people. ALL racism, ableism, sexism, etc. is wrong. Furthermore, the training should be understanding and educational, not finger-pointing and hostile, looking to make someone into the 'bad guy'.
@9L5ZMFX1mo1MO
As equally as people's own views and rights should be respected, I believe it's also important to consider the faiths of others when it comes to these topics (e.g Muslims who don't approve of homosexuality)
@9JZX9P32mos2MO
Yes. Each company has a right to require training that it believes will benefit the advancement of its goals, at its own expense. However, every person has an obligation to decide if a potential employer is in line with his or her goals and personal beliefs.
@9HQ4VYN4mos4MO
It should be a choice for private businesses and public run businesses should have a blanket yes or no
@9HKYK28Social Democratic5mos5MO
As long as diversity includes disability. Too often it does not, and the resulting training creates more problems than it solves.
We are forcing people to hide their feelings. One can’t ‘like’ everyone. There are good and bad, horrid and kind in every race.
@9G5MCLJ7mos7MO
Diversity training should be mandatory as to increase understanding and decrease confusion, and a psychological exam for all employees, more education given to those who commit acts of discrimination, then extensive retraining and a full psychological evaluation and deep dive into the person and then expelled should they do it again after retraining.
@9FSHX9Y7mos7MO
Yes, but only diversity training with fundamental learnings that are widely agreed upon within medical, psychological, and diverse populations. Such training must be closely scrutinised and adhere to high standards of rigour.
@9F34M478mos8MO
Yes, I don't agree with it but it's not the business of the government what a private company does
@9DCWFC28mos8MO
No for gender pronouns. Yes for cultural awareness.
@9D97W779mos9MO
only training that are proven to work
@9CXF6S89mos9MO
No, diversity acceptance should be taught in schools instead
@99LZPLV1yr1Y
Feminism and woke culture doesn't matter and is pointless social justice is a waste of time
@99LTXXW1yr1Y
It depends on the type of work and interactions
@99LRHM91yr1Y
Advisable not mandatory
I don't think this has to be mandatory but it should be recommended.
@9CJDV7Z10mos10MO
What is diversity training?
@9C6BR3RConservative11mos11MO
Yes, companies should have the right, but I think it shouldn't happen
@9C676BL11mos11MO
Yes, but only for companies which employ more than 20 people.
@9BPX22T12mos12MO
No . Only people in public services
@9B5KXVC1yr1Y
Yes, as long as each type of diversity is equal
@99MWVGJ1yr1Y
Yes, but only on topics on the disabled and the autism spectrum
@99M8B621yr1Y
Allthough I disagree with it. Companies should be able to operate freely.
@9DBHMKT8mos8MO
Yes but not be Government mandate
