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.

No only if it’s reported by a student or other teacher that they are being discriminating then they should be put back into training
@9YMZDFR8mos8MO
Yes, but this subject needs to be dealt with in a better manner as it is now almost extreme that the children who do not go by a label eg cat/dog or choosing a different gender based on how they feel that day are the minority and being ostricised
@MG---Sw 2mos2MO
It should be encouraged but school management boards should decide on whether it is mandatory in their schhols and the contents should be reviewed and discussed with the wider school community especially parents and teachers themselves.
@9ZLZLY98mos8MO
Yes and no I don’t think children should decide what gender they are till their old enough and our Irish culture should be taught more
@9ZBC6H48mos8MO
Irish culture should be a priority in Irish schools, any other race who deems it offensive can choose a more diverse school which there are. in many countries their cultures, race and ethnicity are deemed the best but in Ireland its all "racist". like schools putting up cribs for Christmas... looking for non existent issues
@9SZSJTT10mos10MO
Yes, to decrease discrimination or bias against a group of people
@9H7CKHY2yrs2Y
No, any good teacher treats their students equally irrespective of race, gender or religious background
@9ZBWL2L 8mos8MO
Yes, and I strongly believe there should be more people looking at teachers and what they are doing day to day. I've worked in schools and it's ridiculous how little they are called out for repercussions. No other job has less checking in. You could be doing f* all and no one every checks in
