[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were reading “Mae Among The Stars” (book about astronaut Mae Jemison”) and DS asked why her teacher told her she couldn’t be as astronaut. I said something like “because she was a girl and Black” and that it was a wrong thing for her teacher to say. DS said, “Luckily since I’m a boy with white skin, I can be an astronaut”. Well that was the wrong takeaway! Plus he isn’t actually White (half Indian). Can anyone point me to good books on anti-racism and explaining racism? TIA[/quote] those concepts are way too early for anyone under age of 7-8? Btw your son's takeaway was correct. if the book and you focus on visible identity, he will too. [/quote]
