NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: U. Florida ‘early childhood education’ professor scrubs ‘anti-racist’ readings after inquiry.

A University of Florida professor scrubbed optional readings on “anti-racist” and “anti-bias” education from her syllabus after receiving inquiries from The College Fix.

In this class, “students develop and/or implement instructional strategies consistent with their personal philosophies of early childhood education,” according to the course description.

The original version of the “Early Childhood Curriculum” syllabus, available in early July, offered students two different writing options.

Option A would require students to read articles such as “Creating anti-racist early childhood spaces” and “An Inclusive, Anti-Bias Framework for Teaching and Learning about Race with Young Children. Young Exceptional Children.”

The latter reading states that because picture books feature white characters, “a trip to the public library may implicitly communicate to young children that ‘whiteness’ is superior.”

To be fair, even the Smithsonian says that the “written tradition” is part of icky “white culture.”
