> That reminds me of the chapter I was reading for my Early Childhood Learning Lab class. It was talking about selecting materials for the classroom and said something like: "Omission implies that certain groups have less value than others by not including their presence." Yeah, I'm too lazy to go look up the exact quote. Apparently, every single book I read to the children must include every racial group in the world, or I'm implying the groups not in the book have "less value".

You should ask for a list of books that include a one-armed eskimo who was raised by two gay men, one a black Jew, one a Vietnamese Muslim. Also make certain those books identify blond-haired white males as "Aryan", have someone from the Wiccan faith, and a leper.
