The threat of legal lawsuits. My friend works at a local Christian school. A black student got into a fight with a white student and alleged a racial slur. They threatened to sue the school for racism. As part of the settlement to avoid bad publicity, the school had to agree to force all of their employees to take regular anti-racism courses. So now my friend and all the employees are required to take this bullshit training. This is how it happens. Leaders of organizations are always risk averse, and it gets presented as a way to avoid legal liability for discrimination lawsuits and bad publicity.

Same reason the public is still forced to wear a mask in every store that is a franchise: owners terrified of lawsuits. You think Kroger gives af about your health? You think Walmart really cares whether you live or die, or whether you get sick from their store? The ONLY reason they care is because of the ever-looming lawsuit spectre that looms over every corporate robot's back.
