Diversity "Training"

At work at this big not-to-be-named fortune 500 firm, we must go through this diversity session. Sounds great? Let's examine this more closely.

1. The diversity module is done online through a series of windows you click through.
2. Nothing keeps employees from clicking through the screens without even glancing at them.
3. The diversity module is done through the "self-honor" system. Which means, nobody reads a word.

And perhaps the saddest part of it all is that the diversity session offered is actually really good. It points out a lot of myths and really communicates the way we marginalize people in an effective yet professional way. I actually took the time to read every page of that module and I'm pretty sure the ones who actually needed the diversity-for-dummies module just kept clicking..
