Starbucks drops Jewish group from bias training

41. Joe Madison interviewed Sherrilyn Ifill (Prez of NAACP Legal Defense Fund) & she explained this

Apparently what Starbucks plans to do will be continual (whether annual or whatnot). So the training is NOT expected to just be a one-off thing about "implicit bias" and they move on. The. End.

There is an expectation that there will be a series of training courses on various subjects - done in a phased fashion (according to her) and the ADL will most likely be involved in different training initiatives.

The thing here is though, for the IMMEDIATE problem that has impacted blacks most egregiously, there needed to be an immediate remedy right now. One would need a week to cover all of the material to address most types of bias (been there done that), including doing break-outs and role-play, etc., so that needs to be planned out in order to deal with minimal downtime. She also mentioned that they are aware that at places like Starbucks, there is a high turnover, so that has to be factored in.

I expect that in the future, they might break it out so that different "regions" would have training on a schedule of different days so that you don't have the whole chain down at once on a single day.
