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
Forcing someones hand into the training will have a negative impact. But organising volunteering activities that include diverse students would teach them that we are all humans and hopefully reduce the bias long term.
Why wouldn't you want your child or a student to have training of student diversity when hateful speech against race and racism is such a big problem? let's raise less insensitive children to grow up to be more thoughtful adults
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Yes
Students should not be forced to adopt political doctrine regarding diversity practices. The reality is that leftist beliefs create the foundation upon which diversity training is executed. For example, the dramatised Marxist concept of oppressors vs. oppressed, as well as collectivism and intersectionality, are all treated as implicit truths, when in reality they are underpinnings of the leftist worldview. There are no hierarchy or business mindset training programs, presupposing right-wing ideas, that are forced upon individuals. Hence, it seems unreasonable, to expect them to take politically charged dogma as fact.

I dont want my kid in the future being told that its ok to turn from male to female and in the world today
If you mean the trans movement, It's not real and poison to a young insecure mind. Students should be using there education for more important things
@9FR8GPK7mos7MO
A child should not be shown this type of information, it should be for them to discover, and should they pursue such diversity, then they should be able to access the information and pathways necessary. Encouragement or exposure at an early age is dangerous, and I for one do not see any benefit that could come from it.

No, schools should focus on increasing achievement competition and success for the sake of our future generation's success
@9G28S7D7mos7MO
No any act of bullying or defamatory behaviour should be addressed and dealt with accordingly. If the act of discrimination or bullying is of a nature that seems the person to be educated on matters, this can be addressed on this basis.
@9FK7VFP7mos7MO
Yes, but this doesn't need to be its own course.
No, for that matter it has been proven that diversity training has the opposite affect of what is wanted and creates more isms on all sides.
@9F34WC48mos8MO
Diversity should be part of the NZ curriculum.
@9DV8ZGYOpportunities8mos8MO
No, cultural integration and awareness should be promoted through education such as humanities studies.
@9DMFCFT8mos8MO
Quality education should allow for this. Train the educators to help young people understand
@9FVLZLQOpportunities7mos7MO
Schools already teach diversity and civil conversations. Discrimination is taught. It should be taught if needed.

The bible advises us to love another because God is loving God and not a hateful God. Bible advises us not to judge. Man is created in our lord's likeliness. Support our fellows in need.
@9FP4RYT7mos7MO
Only to encourage a more sensible inclusive society, not people who identify as cats
@9FND2527mos7MO
Yes there should be some information given to students not forced upon students about diversity and respect to other students and adults.
Yes, should not have to though. Will help reduce bullying.
@9FMBRBJ7mos7MO
This is a hard stance Q and individual circumstances apply
@9DBQQ7R8mos8MO
Address the underlining culture making this nessasary
@8B44K4G 9mos9MO
No, anything that a specific diversity training covers should be taught in proper context as part of subjects such as social studies, history, politics and health.
@9D64KSK9mos9MO
My opinion is that it depends on the extent of this diversity training. We need to ensure gender, age and race differences are understood by our rangatahi, but leaping into the complexities of the rainbow communities is not appropriate.
@9D57PR29mos9MO
no, but encouraged, and depends on how old the students are.
if they dont like the person for who they are than no
@9C9S2LP11mos11MO
Yes and include learning about autism and other neurological diversity
@9B8DDTN1yr1Y
I don't think diversity training works, but schools should have the freedom to make their own decisions (even if they are bad)
@99MBYW71yr1Y
It shouldn't be mandatory but it should be encouraged
