In reading your piece though I had some concerns about what you felt was the proper landing space for your learning - to be colorblind about race. While many of us (white) folks have been taught that that is the ideal and will make us less/not racist, it actually is a very problematic approach. I've linked to a useful article that helped me learn more about why being colorblind doesn't actually help me be the kind of early educator my kids and families need. I would love to hear your thoughts on this once you've read it and had a chance to think on it. <br /><br />http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/02/colorblindness-adds-to-racism/klygrrrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558233372850742896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-41477650573523316882015-08-02T00:18:57.818-07:002015-08-02T00:18:57.818-07:00... don't we all... the first step to self rev...... don't we all... the first step to self revelation and connecting with children is to admit that the world is an open book.Papa Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791079916601796354noreply@blogger.com
