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.…

No
@9FN6QT48mos8MO
Yes they should have diversity training so that we can better understand all people and where they come from.
@9F73LDBLibertarian8mos8MO
Mandatory diversity training as well as sexual harassment training should be taught to students in high school, not to adults. With that being said, why are we worried with businesses wanting their employees to understand that certain behavior will not be tolerated. If a company has a firm action in place regarding certain behaviors, and they want to train their employees so they fully understand what behavior is not allowed, then they should. Government should not be mandating what they are allowed to train in the workplace. I don't think that employers should be allowed to fire after one incidence if the behavior was not clearly stated of being allowed.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Yes
@9KVB98X2mos2MO
Everyone should receive this training because not all behavior is recognized and you never know what people are doing behind closed doors.
@9GSR2647mos7MO
Diversity is about bringing voices to the table that have different perspectives due to their experiences. Teach taking turns and using your ears and mouth in proper proportion.

No, only for employees that commit acts of discrimination

Yes, if they want to. But personally, I think this is a stupid trend happening. It's unnecessary by adding more attention to race your making people more conscious of race. An example is a kid said when he was in middle school he never once thought about race. but once he had crt all he thought abt a person while first meeting them was race. We shouldn't focus about race for anything we should just regonise that were all people and that we should be treated equally.
Encourage diversity, but if you have to tell your employees not to be racist, they shouldn't be employees.
@9F56K6ZLibertarian8mos8MO
No, this will lead to more hatred and animosity.
@VulcanMan6 8mos8MO
Only if someone is bigoted
@9FB23ZX8mos8MO
I don't understand this question, can it be more specific?
@VulcanMan6 8mos8MO
What about it isn't clear..?
@9MFBRSL1wk1W
Yes, but only if such training focuses on racial cooperation and understanding rather than critical race theory
@9MDD3XT1wk1W
Diversity training should be incentivized financially, and governments, public institutions, and violators of discrimination laws should be required to provide it in their workplaces
@9MCGPNP2wks2W
No, because companies should worry about hiring the right person for the job. If they're black; cool. If they're white; cool.
@9M3PQ5V3wks3W
keep it the same but they shuold have guns and a test so not shoot the person that steels but if the person has a gun and they still they will be shot in the arm or leg and the person that shot the bad person will not go to jail but the person that trys to still will go to jail.
@9LHN4XC1mo1MO
I think diversity training should be encouraged but not requires, and employees who commit acts of discrimination should be expelled.
@9J9JP2K4mos4MO
It is not the government’s position to tell private companies what to do, however, it should be transparent to consumers which companies provide diversity training and which do not.
@9HYRZ55Independent4mos4MO
It should be up to the company. If an employee has chosen to work for said company then they must comply with the company's decision of doing the training or not doing the training.
@ChaseOliver 5mos5MO
Individual firms should be allowed to set their own policies, and consumers may decide which firms they will support with their dollars.
@9F7SNL58mos8MO
Government shouldn't be the answer to this question.
@2KJR767Independent 9mos9MO
No. It should be recommeneded but the focus should be on emotional intelligence and unserstandkng bias versus driving wedges based on perceived discrimination.
@9DK4SG89mos9MO
Depends on the size of the company
@9DJHLM59mos9MO
Yes, companies shouldn’t be told how to operate by the Government unless they are conducting illegal business or limiting speech
@9DJBM339mos9MO
No, employers should simply publish clear guidelines and company policies on actions
No, current diversity training has been scientifically shown to cause worse outcomes in the workplace.
@9D98WZR9mos9MO
A private company can train within the legal framework, no?
@9D68MKD10mos10MO
No, diversity training is discrimination by another name
Yes, abolish private property and require all workers to take diversity training and a requirement of orientation
@9D53XZH10mos10MO
Yes, because the government should have very limited regulation on private companies. The free market should dictate what training is profitable.
@9CZMFWD10mos10MO
Ideally as required, should teach common decency instead. Especially at lower levels of competency. It is in senior managements best interest to have a workplace that is welcoming to the broader public.
@9C9RV2512mos12MO
No, but there should be clear guidelines regarding these acts.
@9BLNTKV1yr1Y
Neutral, but diversity training should be heavily encouraged with incentives
@JcawolfsonIndependent 1mo1MO
Yes, diversity training should be encouraged but only required for employees that commit acts of discrimination
@9LJRK6T1mo1MO
It's sad that people would even need diversity training to begin with, the fact that the government has mandated what's essentially lessons on how to be a civil human being is crazy.
@9L7Q9V32mos2MO
Yes, but only if such training prioritizes racial cooperation and understanding instead of preaching critical race theory
@9K8HC433mos3MO
The goverment should have no say in this matter, the only day they have is where federal employees receive training.
@9K24XZX3mos3MO
I personally don't believe in diversity training, but the government should not have any role in mandating any diversity standards.
@9JXVC9R3mos3MO
No, diversity training is a detriment and is better done by vacations to different parts of the world. A trip to Japan, Peru, Botswana, or Bangladesh will do far more to make one appreciate diversity than a seminar telling people to tolerate the alien.
@9JW87V63mos3MO
Yes, but only if the focus is on racial cooperation and understanding instead of critical race theory
@9JL9Q8N 4mos4MO
No, this practice is divisive, choosing to focus on what makes us different from each other - ceding even more "power" to those that have been protected/privileged (legally/programs - affirmative action). We should be focused on values that we can unite to support and that makes companies succeed - good work.
@9JDPRPN4mos4MO
No, everyone is equal no matter who they are and diversity training is kinda wrong to be honest and it's up to the employee's behavior.
