Abstract:
While
all
public
schools
in
the
United
States
are
bound
by
the
1954
Brown
decision,
the
goal
of
educational
equality
has
not
been
achieved.
This
is
partly
a
result
of
deep-seated
resistance
by
White
people
who
act
on
racial
stereotypes
while
denying
that
these
stereotypes
exist.
To
explore
the
origins
of
racial
stereotyping
in
young
children
we
examined
the
way
four-year
old
White
children
are
influenced
by
the
attitudes
of
their
general
social
networks
toward
individuals
of
dark
skin
color.
Keywords:
educational
equality;
stereotypes;
race;
