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 not disclosed as diversity training as that further highlights the differences between students- instead, a community of acceptance should be encouraged with discrimination being abnormal and punishable
@9ZV4F9Y3mos3MO
Yes, Students should be required by law to learn about different cultures and why it is important to respect people regardless of backgrounds
@9SBTMJP6mos6MO
Yes, twice every month all schools should be required mandatory diverse training including social skills training.
@9PRD99T8mos8MO
Yes, but the age and maturity of the child should be considered to ensure they have the emotional maturity to take on adult themed conversations and should be well balanced
@9NFGYYV9mos9MO
If diversity includes more than skincolour/ethnicity, such as neurodiversity, learning about differences etc
@9N6HCTV9mos9MO
Training makes it sound a bit militant. Educate kids on diversity and inclusion, but make it feel like any other part of their education.

Yes, but people from those groups should be speaking about how to interact with them. Having an abled person discuss how to interact with a disabled person is not helpful. They almost always get it wrong. Same for a straight person discussing how to speak to queer people, or someone from the country discussing how to speak to an immigrant.
@9G5MCLJ1yr1Y
Diversity training should be mandatory as to increase understanding and decrease confusion, and a psychological exam for all students, 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.
