race as evidence by the drawings. I'm not disagreeing that kids want to create accurate depictions of their surroundings. If they see a green car they draw a green car, nothing to see here; yet, they aren't being bombarded with negative representations of green cars. They are, however, being bombarded with negative representations of Black folks.
I think folks are saying why take the risk of them internalizing those negative representations that will lead to negative generalizations; offer some balance...even at five.
