Ideology, Race, and Education
Abstract
This article is taken from the Rethinking Childhood Series book: Earick, E. E. (2009). Racially Equitable Teaching; Beyond the Whiteness of Professional Development for Early Childhood Educators. NY: Peter Lang. The book utilizes a critical race theory lens to examine how education is being used as a tool to maintain white privilege. The specific text reprinted here calls attention to the racist ideologies that are being perpetuated in the classroom, gives examples of how these practices are harming children and challenges teachers to begin using transformative practices to create racially equitable teaching for everyone. The reader is referred to the complete book for a more in-depth discussion on race in early childhood education.
