No

 @9F9MYBN from Georgia disagreed…7mos7MO

We need to learn how to respect others, just because of the color of our skin people can be so cruel, but we all bleed to same color and we all die in the end so be fair to everyone while we are still here.

 @9F6N5S6 from New York disagreed…7mos7MO

We as a society need to respect all people and that needs to involve sensitivity training to avoid ignorance.

 @9F65JXQ from California disagreed…7mos7MO

We live in a world in which race has shaped every aspect of our being. Culture is all around us, there is no way to be in a culture vacuum. Systemic racism permeates our society. We must learn how to interact with those who are different from us, and treat everyone equitably.

 @9F5FTDN from New Hampshire disagreed…7mos7MO

Every single person comes with so many biases, even if they are unconscious. Everyone, regardless of their race, deserves to be treated equally and without fear of dealing with passive aggressive actions and comments.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

Yes

 @9FBCCK7from Guam disagreed…6mos6MO

No person should have to be trained to think or have opinions about a specific subject. If you are unable to convince someone of an idea then you cannot then require them to be trained to overcome their own opinions.

 @9F9MYBN from Georgia agreed…7mos7MO

I think you should agree because it would show people the way to treat others regardless of what they look like

 @9F7ZRRV  from California agreed…7mos7MO

Many racial jokes are made in the workplace and many don't understand that the workplace isn't a place for these jokes and should be taught not to say such things.

 @9BF2FHNSocialist  from Florida commented…12mos12MO

Yes, and also include LGBTQ+ topics

I live in an ALF as the only gay person in here and the men in here including the owner of the home are rude towards me, make fun of the sound of my gay effeminate accent and call me ma am when I am a sir telling people I am a lady and I am a **** cisgender man and these men make me angry when they openly discuss women in my bedroom drinking alcohol me having to keep to myself that I am attracted to cis muslim or Hispanic gay man or they'll call me homophobic slurs and rip my clothes and the owner of the home blames me for my behavior not theirs and threatens to kick me out.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

No, just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination

 @9HWTVRV from Pennsylvania disagreed…3mos3MO

Who is enforcing the accountability? Who is ensuring the comprehension and clarity of the guidelines?
There is too much dismissiveness today. I don't believe most individuals/Institutions realize how much of our current lives (as well as "the good ole days" ) are colored by racist views. In order to have a truly diverse and fair system we have to provide training to change the current mindsets, otherwise those "guidelines" will be dismissed and rebuked which will only make things worse.

 @9FSBSGWConstitution from California agreed…6mos6MO

When speaking to employees that have had to attend government approved Racial Sensitivity trainings in all sectors, I have found that many employees have noticed a discriminatory stance against certain groups, are not given the opportunity to counter, and have observed that there is no evidence given or no regard for historical context.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

Yes, and also include LGBTQ+ topics

 @9FSBSGWConstitution from California disagreed…6mos6MO

LGBTQ+ topics are discriminatory towards many religious and political groups, and when speaking to employees who have been forced to attend trainings on them, I have again discovered that there was no concrete scientific data shown.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as it covers all protected groups (age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion) and is not based on critical race theory

 @9FSBSGWConstitution from California disagreed…6mos6MO

On the flip side, Racial Sensitivity Training discriminates against groups that do not believe in topics that are covered in the trainings. In fact, it tends to villainize anyone that does not agree with the political ideology that is pushed in Racial Sensitivity Training. It also divides us by making us more aware of our differences instead of uniting as Americans.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

Yes, and extend the requirement to private companies as well

 @8HCZLY5Republican from Iowa answered…3yrs3Y

No, it should not be required. It should be an option and the choice of the business.

 @PresspacenutDemocrat from Minnesota answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and include LGBTQ+ topics and extend this requirement to private companies as well.

 @8NR3ZY3 from Alabama answered…3yrs3Y

No, and there is no proof that racial sensitivity training actually has a positive effect on racial sensitivity.

 @8HZBKRB from Michigan answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and also include LGBTQ+ topics and extend the requirement to private companies as well

 @8KBQ6ZY from Connecticut answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and they should include LGBTQ+ topics, cover all protected groups, and extend the requirement to private companies as well.

 @4V4VGHMConstitutionanswered…3yrs3Y

No, and it shouldn't exist. These programs tend to be very one sided and hypocritical.

 @8M7BF4Z from Illinois answered…3yrs3Y

No, but have strict guidelines and accountability concerning discrimination on any basis not relevant to the codified procedure - even those not pertaining to faith, race, sex, disability, or sexual orientation. Agency policy can mandate asking a few hypothetical questions to determine likelihood of guideline compliance.

  Deletedanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, and also include LGBTQIA+ Topics & extend the requirement to all companies, regardless if it's socially owned or privately owned

 @8KLCJB7 from Washington answered…3yrs3Y

Neutral, training will help but in the end if a person discriminates it is due to their own beliefs and no amount of training could change that.

  Deletedanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, and also include LGBTQIA+ Topics & extend the requirement to all businesses, regardless of ownership

  @TruthHurts101 from Washington disagreed…9mos9MO

No, abolish all diversity, affirmative action, and racial sensitivity programs and do not give minorities any favorable treatment in the business world that white people don't get.

 @MorbidCabinetRepublican from New York agreed…9mos9MO

I see where you're coming from! Just like in a game of Monopoly, everyone should start with the same amount of cash, right? No 'Get Out of Jail Free' cards for anybody. After all, the idea of the American Dream is built on the principle of equal opportunity, where success is determined by an individual's hard work and talent, not their background.

Now, picture this: You're at a 100-meter race. Everyone's lined up at the same starting point. But what if some runners had to wear heavy boots? Would it still be a fair race? Isn't it the same with life, where some people, due to societal prejudices, are burdened with 'heavy boots'?

 @8TFGXKGRepublican from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No but if you know an employee is without a doubt and have proof he/she is racist to any one regardless of color they should be fired

  @JonBSimConstitutionfrom Kentucky disagreed…2yrs2Y

No, just ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination

If the best plumber in the world is racist, you shouldn't fire him because it has nothing to do with his profession.

 @9KVVS2F from Pennsylvania disagreed…2wks2W

he may be good at his career, but the biaism he has would subconsciously effect the work efficiency, and causing discrimination witch affects peoples light negativity. it is a negative representation of a buisness and allowing it as a buisness is a whole seperate set of yuckyness.

 @8L3WPPX from Maine answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and also include age, sex, disability, LGBTQIA+, and religious topics.

 @8VSHYKXCommunist from Texas answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and extend the requirement to private companies as well as including all minority groups.

 @8KQWHTMRepublican from Texas answered…3yrs3Y

Hate speech is free speech, but businesses should definitely be allowed to punish or fire you for being a jerkwad.

 @8JVZFMH from Pennsylvania answered…3yrs3Y

Yes if it is needed, most people today don’t need a class for that but If they do then one should be given yes

 @8LBH2KZSocialist from New York answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as it covers all protected groups (age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion) and is not based on critical race theory and extend the requirement to private companies as well

 @93986TP from California answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and also include LGBTQ+ topics, and extend the requirement to private companies as well

 @8WW6WS3 from Virginia answered…2yrs2Y

I do, but I also think that companies should do extensive background checks to ensure that racial sensitivity training shouldn't be needed in the first place.

 @8TZNWML from Maryland answered…3yrs3Y

No, it wastes time for employees who aren't discriminatory, just ensure discrimination won't be accepted

 @979M8HP from Texas answered…1yr1Y

ensure there are clear guidelines, action, and accountability for acts of discrimination, intolerance, and bullying
