Diversity training

Diversity training is an enormous business with a profound effect on the workplace in business, government and education. Nonetheless, views on it vary so much that it is difficult to characterize. Typically, its stated purpose is to treat diversity as an opportunity and promote the ability of students and workers from a great variety of backgrounds to cooperate productively and make as great a contribution as possible to organizational goals. Its proponents consider it morally right, because it respects diversity, and economically sound, because it enables organizations to draw on multiplicities of talents and strengths. Its opponents consider it an oppressive ideological monstrosity, a sort of mind control or short-term reeducation camp, that actually injures the ability of organizations to attain their goals.
