PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sesame Place has announced the implementation of diversity and inclusion training for its employees following a $25 million class-action lawsuit alleging multiple incidents of discrimination after outcry sparked from a video of a costumed character snubbing two 6-year-old Black girls went viral online.
The Sesame Street-themed park, operated by SeaWorld Parks, in a statement Tuesday said that all employees will be mandated to participate in training created to address bias, promote inclusion and prevent discrimination by the end of September.
The training — which was developed by civil rights educators — will also be integrated into onboarding for all new employees and “will become a regular part of our training and workforce development,” the statement said.
Outrage ensued online in July when a video went viral showing a Sesame Street character waving off the two Black girls during a parade at Sesame Place. Jodi Brown, the mother of one of the girls, posted the video on Instagram.
President of Sesame Place Philadelphia Cathy Valeriano said the park has already begun implementing temporary measures while a review of the park continues.
“We are committed to making sure our guests feel welcome, included and enriched by their visits to our park,” Valeriano said.

what about equity?
commie training is not complete without equity
🙄
Had a relative who worked there years ago as a “character”. Summer job between college classes.
That means anti-White training.
How about you just fire the employee who did this (assuming this viral depiction of the video is accurate) rather than implementing policies to annoy the employees who did not and would not do this?
Young parents, do your children a favor, avoid everything Sesame Street. Well at least almost everything. I taught my daughters to shoot .22 pistols using Big Bird targets.
Jesse Jackson looking for one more payday.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Well old leftys with platinum healthcare tend to live a LONG time, and Jesse may be hurtin from the Biden inflation.
Are they going to make all the characters black now?
Because the punishment is “collective”.
Never knew Bert was Chinese.
Suspected he might be gay..but they both had seperate beds.
Neither one ever talked about taking it up their muppet shoots..or Monkeys for that matter.
I love watching these idiots tie themselves up in knots and spend a small fortune on unachievable goals.
I love reading articles like this like I love looking at photos of bad plastic surgery on celebrities.
They would do better redesign the costume so that they could see more than 15 degrees off-axis.
INCLUSIVITY:
I was declined a ‘religious exemption’ for the CCP-Coronavirus injections. The ONE person who received the exemption, was someone who claimed that he/she/it believed IN ALL religions.
The FACT is that one simply CONNOT believe in mohammedanism AND Christianity (One God in Three Persons). For mohammedans, this is called ‘shirk’ and is referenced in verses 4.171, 5.73 and 5.116. Of course, a Christian MUST believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Therefore, belief in BOTH religions defies all logic! They are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE!
Of course, it was a bunch of likely atheistic bureaucrats who made this decision, based upon ‘inclusivity’. After all, the bureaucrats had to approve at least one ‘religious exemptiin’ for appearance sake, so why not an ‘inclusive’ belief? Facts be damned!
Romans 1:28-32 describes a ‘depraved mind’, something that the left and many atheists suffer from. God has turned His back on us, as a nation. That is, ALL Western nations!
Are they going to teach them how to see through cloth and fur?
Because as best as could tell the person in the suit was looking at adult eye level at the precise moment and didn’t even see the tiny girls.
I wish these gibmethats would go to a slave in 1850, or a black southerner in 1910, and tell them they are facing racism because some on didn’t acknowledge them.
“We are committed...”
Yes, they should be.
