By ages four and five, children allegedly become racially prejudiced.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>According to the graphic, by the time children reach kindergarten they can become full-blown racists. Kindergarteners allegedly \u201cshow many of the same racial attitudes that adults in our culture hold \u2014 they have already learned to associate some groups with higher status than others.\u201d Parents are encouraged to have conversations with kindergarteners to discuss how interracial friendships can improve their racial attitudes.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"in-body-articles css-ns67zv\">\n<section>\n<p class=\"css-6k1apq e1azoy6g1\">As highlighted by Rufo, the AZ\u00a0Department of Education recommends reading from HuffPost titled, \u201cHow White Parents Can Talk To Their Kids About Race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Department of Education recommends a reading that claims babies are not \u2018colorblind\u2019 and that parents must instill \u2018antiracist attitudes and actions\u2019 beginning at birth, in order for their children to not \u2018absorb bias from the world around them,&#8217;\u201d he reports.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>HuffPost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/how-white-parents-talk-kids-race_l_5ed522dbc5b6a2704f44c045\">writes<\/a>: \u201c<em>White parents can and should <a role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/3094721\/Children_Are_Not_Colorblind_How_Young_Children_Learn_Race\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ylk=\"subsec:paragraph;itc:0;cpos:9;pos:1;elm:context_link\" data-rapid_p=\"3\" data-v9y=\"1\">begin addressing issues<\/a> of race and racism early, even before their children can speak.
