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 We need a better definition of diversity, which goes beyond sex, race or gender identity and include cultural and cognitive diversities
@B279XJN1mo1MO
Training should be done when applicable (e.g.: if individual is unfamiliar with customs vs someone who is familiar) and should only be trained by someone who has personal experience by being part of said diverse group if so.
@B22MJBC2mos2MO
No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required, and any faculty member that commits acts of discrimination should be expelled.
@9YK7T9B3mos3MO
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.
@9LX8MD99mos9MO
No, but discriminatory behaviour should be grounds for repercussions. Publically funded schools should have published guidelines for when termination is warranted.
@9L4XKWX10mos10MO
Definitely for factors that people do not have a choice about such as skin colour or country of birth.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Have more support for teachers, and hire well-educated and well-rounded people from all backgrounds.
@9GCJ9X91yr1Y
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.
