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.

I feel like schools should create an environment in which people from diverse communities should be treated fairly and teachers should have to teach tolerance for people from different backgrounds I also think the lack of classes on critical think and stats in relation to political issues creates an environment where ignorant positions can't be challenged

No, but promote the idea of students sharing their culture amongst peers and having cultural celebration days rather than make it enforced that it’s a “training”.
