Introducing FAIR Schools  This week we have launched FAIR Schools, a program for schools committed to the FAIR Pledge to promote a common culture based on fairness, understanding, and humanity. FAIR Schools provide an inclusive learning experience that recognizes our unique identities and common humanity, while fostering an environment of curiosity, critical inquiry, and a diversity of opinions and perspectives. A FAIR School will implement training, standards, and curricula that uphold FAIR’s pro-human values and will commit to treating students, teachers, and staff with fairness and understanding regardless of their immutable traits or circumstances of their birth. All schools—private, public, charter, religious, secular—are encouraged to apply.

FAIR High School Clubs  Are you interested in discussing a diversity of perspectives on contemporary cultural and political topics in an atmosphere of mutual respect, sincerity, and openness? Do you want to learn more about how different minds perceive and understand the world? If so, FAIR at School is the place for you. Our club will follow these guiding questions: How do diverse individuals explore and understand complicated issues? How can we as students work together to deepen our understanding, enrich our knowledge, and sharpen our analytical skills? For more information about our clubs, including how to start one at your school, visit here. Target's Problematic Trainings  Over the past two months, FAIR Transparency has received multiple incident and survey reports about Target Corporation’s employee “diversity, equity and inclusion” training program. The reports claim that these programs are stereotyping Target employees based on skin color, instead of honoring each employee’s individuality. The reports also suggest that Target leadership is pressuring employees to mindlessly serve as “allies,” instead of asking thoughtful questions about the impacts of human differences. After carefully reviewing these reports, FAIR’s legal team wrote to Target’s General Counsel and CEO, expressing our concerns about the divisive and potentially unlawful nature of the training Target is offering. We are hopeful that Target will issue a substantive response to our inquiry and embrace FAIR's pro-human approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion training.
