Just read your interesting post--we are about to set up a discovery room for k-5ers--and I don't want to have all pulleys/levers as I was raised as an ecologist. On the other hand, we will have some of that stuff. I've talked with a gender studies person here, and to a couple of public school teachers about gender/race representations, but since I don't get out to see the real world much, could you give me a few examples of the offensive exhibits/stereotypes you dislike? We'd like to do it right, if we could figure out what that was.... Thanks. Nancy McCartney 30 Vol Walker Fayetteville, AR 77201 [log in to unmask]
