I think anti-ableist training or at least ableism awareness training and bias training are obviously a great idea across the board. They challenge the mistakes and the misunderstandings that people have. They give voice to people with lived experience for certain, but I wouldn't want to be spending a lot of time or a lot of resources. I want to make sure that anything we do does not delay changes.
The recommendations David Lepofsky gave you earlier this week are bang on target. We can enact those and, I would add, invest with our colleges and universities. They have no money right now to retrain the faculty who are creating the programs that are training the next generation of barrier busters or the people who are going to get us to 2040. Year after year, we're getting graduates who don't know any better, who are making all the same mistakes and have all the same biases and, unfortunately, ableist standard practice drilled into them from day one. We could make a huge difference in that kind of education, but I'm not saying that other types of education are not useful.
