The toolkit advises parents to begin speaking to their children about race “even before their children can speak.”
The Arizona Department of Education has crafted an “equity” toolkit designed to teach critical race theory to children, offering a number of recommended readings on the topic.
The toolkit teaches, among other things, that babies start to become racist at just three months of age. The toolkit insists that babies must be spoken to about race, as “letting children draw their own conclusions based on what they see” leads to racism. It is unclear how allowing children to think for themselves leads to racism.
