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;
