[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool children don't see race[/quote] I don't think this is true. My white kid was preschool aged when i heard him express discomfort around a Black person in our church or dislike of a Black toy compared to others. We would never ever want to teach him that, and I'm not sure what role we had, but after a couple instances I realized he was definitely seeing color and expressing bias. So we do talk about race and racism. For the current events I definitely didn't give him all the details, but told him that people are very mad and protesting in lots of cities because a police officer hurt a man for the color of his skin, and that was very wrong. We've also talked about slavery since we like visiting Civil War sites. [/quote]
