An anti-bias curriculum is an approach to teaching that helps children understand, recognize, and embrace differences among people. It has clearcut objectives that work to prevent stereotyping and bias, confront prejudices and address injustices. It incorporates diverse perspectives and strives to create an inclusive community. While some parents believe that children don’t notice race at such a young age, research tells us otherwise. “There is a myth in popular culture that young children are “colorblind” or don’t notice race. By this logic, children are “blank slates” who cannot develop racial prejudices until they are explicitly taught to do so. This leads many adults to argue that we should not discuss race with preschoolers because they are “too young,” and even mentioning race will “put ideas in their heads” or “poison their minds.” When young children talk about race or express any bias, it is often either dismissed (“She doesn’t know what she’s saying.”), blamed on parents or other adults (“Someone must have said that at home.”), or only indirectly addressed as general bad behavior (“We don’t say things like that because it hurts people’s feelings.”). However, current psychological research suggests this approach is all wrong,” writes Dr. Erin Winker, an accomplished researcher in the field of race and children.
