Sesame Place to hold diversity training after videos show black girls, others snubbed
Sesame Place has announced new diversity, equity, and inclusion training for its staff members following criticism after one of the popular theme park characters was filmed snubbing two Black girls eager to get a hug or high five.
The controversy began in July when one of the girls’ mothers, Jodi Brown, posted a nine-second clip of the incident on Instagram, which happened at Sesame Place Philadelphia. The costumed character Rosita dismissively waved her hands in the direction of the girls, who looked crestfallen afterward. The video was widely viewed on multiple social media platforms, prompting other parents to share similar clips of their Black children’s negative experiences at the amusement park.
Sesame Place initially published a lengthy apology. “We are heartbroken by what these young girls and this family experienced in our park,” a press release said. “It is antithetical to our values, principles, and purpose. We are committed to working tirelessly and intentionally to make this situation better.”
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump joined the girls’ family in their call for Sesame Place and parent company SeaWorld to do better. Separately, another Black family who previously visited the park sued Sesame Place in a $25 million class-action lawsuit that alleged discrimination.
In a press release issued Tuesday, Sesame Place announced new related initiatives, including a comprehensive racial equity assessment and the planned launch of an anti-bias training and education program. By the end of September, Sesame Place employees should’ve participated in a training program “designed to address bias, promote inclusion, prevent discrimination, and ensure all guests and employees feel safe and welcome.”
The program is being developed and overseen by renowned experts in civil rights, diversity, equity, and inclusion, according to Sesame Place.
“The actions we are taking will help us deliver on our promise to provide an equitable and inclusive experience for all our guests every day,” Cathy Valeriano, president of Sesame Place Philadelphia said. “We are committed to making sure our guests feel welcome, included and enriched by their visits to our park.”

Premier League stars ‘will receive sexual consent training’ in wake of allegations made against players
PREMIER League stars will receive mandatory sexual consent training in the wake of a number of allegations made against players, it was reported last night.
New rules for the face-to-face training have been introduced this season to all players as a result of pressure on the league and the Football Association to act.
Until now, the Premier League ran workshops for academy and first-team players from under-14s to under-23s.
Content included sexual relationships, seeking consent, and understanding sexual harassment and bullying.
However, such training was not compulsory for all senior professionals, sparking criticism and demands for widespread reform.
Clubs failing to introduce the new training, to be delivered by safeguarding professionals, will face disciplinary action, reports The Telegraph.

Plans for similar rules in the lower leagues are under consideration, but to date there has been no move to suspend players arrested on suspicion of rape.
The new rules were brought in following a meeting in June between the Premier League and campaign groups End Violence for Women, the Three Hijabis and Level Up.
They wrote an open letter to Richard Masters, the league’s chief executive, and Mark Bullingham, his FA counterpart, calling on them “to confront a culture of gender-based violence”.
Shaista Aziz, co-director of the Three Hijabis, said that the FA is ultimately responsible for acting on accusations of sexual offences committed within English football but had yet to engage with the group on the subject.

She said: “We’re pleased to see the Premier League has adopted the action plan we sent in our open letter to them and the FA.
“This is an important first and long overdue step in the right direction. However, we need greater transparency on how this new guidance will be implemented.
“Any programme to tackle gender-based violence must be delivered by Violence Against Women and Girls specialists if it’s to be a meaningful change.
“We’ve had productive meetings with the Premier League on these issues and look forward to meeting again.
“The FA, in contrast, continues to be opaque, out of step, and dismissive in its behaviours towards us. We call on the FA to urgently engage with tackling gender-based violence across football.
Aziz said the new rules had not met all her group’s demands, which include automatic suspensions for any players arrested on suspicion of rape.
She said: “It is inconsistent and inconceivable that, in 2022, you can have a high-profile footballer accused of these very serious crimes and his employer says: ‘It’s OK, he can carry on going to work.’ It’s outrageous.
“The FA can’t just use this moment as another PR and marketing exercise, and spin and gloss, for their attempts to tell us that they’re inclusive. We know they’re not inclusive.”
She went on to claim that she believes the organisation fails to engage with campaign groups who could help “really move things forward”.

An FA spokesman said: “The FA strongly condemns violence and prejudice of any kind, including misogyny, and encourages anyone who has been the subject of, or witness to, this type of behaviour to report it to the Police and the relevant authorities.
“The FA will take the allegations extremely seriously and will take action within its jurisdiction. Any such case would be investigated once any criminal or statutory investigation is concluded.”
