Completing a diversity workshop is a visible, measurable outcome and thus favored by the employers who think about such things. The unknown long term effects of undergoing the training are irrelevant.

I checked the article. I do not get why it belongs in this forum, which is about living a Catholic life, not politics. This would be a better post for this forum:

Many of our institutions still harbor, and too many of our laws still sanction, practices that deny justice and equal access to certain groups of people. God demands more from us. We cannot, therefore, look upon the progress against
racism in recent decades and conclude that our current situation meets the standard of justice. In fact, God demands what is right and just.

Still, to understand how racism works today, we must recognize that generations of African Americans were disadvantaged by slavery, wage theft, “Jim Crow” laws, and by the systematic denial of access to numerous wealth-building opportunities reserved for others. This has left many African Americans without hope, discouraged, disheartened, and feeling unloved. While it is true that some individuals and families have thrived, significant numbers of African Americans are born into economic and social disparity

When we approach a complex issue like racism with a political article, prepared to look at it from a “conservative” point of view, or listen to pundits instead of bishops, we do not live as Catholics. In the readings of today’s Mass, God reminds us that, “His ways or not our ways.” If we are to live, move, and act as Catholics, we must start from the foolishness of God, not the wisdom of Man. Including:
  • acknowledging weakness and sin with a critical eye
  • recognizing the special relationship God has with the poor and downtrodden
  • understand the value of human dignity in all
  • seeing others as God does, instead of dismissing them over differences
and
  • never elevate politics our social justice, or any moral teaching.
