Women’s history neglected in state standards and textbooks |
|
When students learn about women’s contributions to U.S. history, domestic roles are often over emphasized and only a minority of individuals are addressed, and according to new research, the issue begins at the state-level. The nonprofit National Women's History Museum found that as recently as 2016, women and minorities were vastly underrepresented in U.S. history textbooks, including illustrations and sidebars, and when they are included, texts often fail to address the breadth and depth of women's history. |

Latest report on California arts education shows progress, if slow |
|
There's been a push to expand arts education in California in recent years. New numbers out today from Create CA, one of the groups behind that effort, paint a mixed picture: while some headway has been made, it's been slow. Overall, the number of students who participate in the arts increased from 38 to 39 percent. |

Forget Wealth And Neighborhood. The Racial Income Gap Persists |
|
A new study conducted by researchers at Stanford, Harvard and the Census Bureau, finds that in 99 percent of neighborhoods in the United States, black boys earn less in adulthood than white boys who come from similar socioeconomic backgrounds. This undermines the widely-held belief that class, not race, is the most fundamental predictor of economic outcomes for children in the U.S. The study looked at racial disparities in income over generations by looking at de-identified data from 20 million U.S. children and their parents. It tracked outcomes for Hispanic, white, Asian, black and Native Americans. |
