Yes

 @9H4CZ37New Democraticfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

Even if it doesn’t eliminate it altogether, the more people are educated, the likely they are to understand the situation of victimized groups and furthermore those people could then also become advocates for these communities.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

No, and mandatory diversity training should be banned

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

Yes, and all schools should require mandatory diversity training

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

No, only private schools should be allowed to require mandatory training

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...2yrs2Y

Yes, and immediately expel any student that displays racist behavior

 @B3HJR9Ffrom Ontario  answered…1wk1W

Diversity education, including what is taught in diversity training, should be apart of the curriculum. Everything taught should be backed by reliable, valid, well-established research.

 @B3G6J5TLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…1wk1W

I don't necessarily think students need training on this. I think it would be more productive to have open discussions about diversity and the importance of it through social studies classes to foster a healthy mindset around this topic.

 @B352FHFfrom Ontario  answered…3wks3W

Yes, for young children to teach them of the broad range of cultures and lifestyles that legitimately exist in the world that they will encounter and should tolerate.

 @B2TMHZMfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

It should be something taught to children by their parents not enforced in schools. Pushing it on children in school will likely cause backlash

 @9FBVJ5GNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @9F3YN58from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, children can be mean and teaching them about discrimination could help prevent bullying. We want equality therefore we learn and avoid discrimination.

 @9L4XKWXfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

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

 @9JWTCPTfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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.

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.

 @9F5FC8S from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @99LTY5Yfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Schools should be required to include diversity awareness/sensitivity in the education plan for students.

 @9CMHBM8from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Only for students that commit acts of discrimination AND all white people

 @9CCJF62from British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

No, it should be encouraged and optional, but only required for those who commit acts of discrimination

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

No, and "diversity" training should be banned for pushing terrorist propaganda.

 @9BXP6MQfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9BK2RQ6from British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

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.
