Researchers used artificial intelligence technology to analyze imagery in children's books.
In children’s books, a new study says the moral of the story is a strong likelihood light-skinned characters will be there, but Black and Latino characters will be underrepresented.
“ ‘Children’s books represent a prime opportunity to ‘fix the institution’ by increasing equity in representation, particularly in books that highlight the diverse roles that people can perform in an equal society.’ ” Instead, they noted the study showed that with the help of technology, it’s possible to quantify the amount of race and gender representation in children’s books.
In recent months, lawmakers in several Republican-leaning states, have advanced or enacted legislation focusing on how race and racism is taught in the classroom. For example, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill in June that didn’t mention the term “critical race theory,” but said no school district, teacher or administrator could require instruction that, among other things, said ideas like getting ahead in a “meritocracy” should not be linked to racism.
