Bias in Modern Schools

In an article entitled "Countering Prejudice against American Indians and Alaska Natives through Antibias Curriculum and Instruction," Deirdre A. Almeida argues for the teaching of an antibias curriculum towards Native American and Alaskan Natives. In this article is extremely informative. First, the article identifies the problem (bias curriculum with regards to the Native Americans). Second, it offers suggestions as to how to correct this problem by offering a list of steps that would be helpful. Then, it describes ways of detecting prejudice in the curriculum.

This article would be rather helpful in demonstrating continued prejudice in today's society.
