- Summary:
-
The report compiled by the Committee to Eliminate Sex Discrimination in the Public Schools, Ann Arbor, Michigan, for their Board of Education, points out the areas of school life in which females are not given the chance or the encouragement to aspire to competence. Four areas of particular disadvantage are stereotyping in books, athletic programs, industrial arts and home economics programs, and administrative policy, which entails hiring female principals and designing buildings with facilities for both sexes. Discussion of these concerns is illustrated by exhibits from textbooks, memos, statements of policy, letters, and bibliographies of alternative literature emphasizing women. A list of 43 specific problems within those four areas, summarizing the content of the report and giving suggestions for solutions, is keyed to the discussion and exhibits for easy reference. This edition of the report includes sections on problems that have been ameliorated but which are maintained with the hope of aiding other school systems and action groups. (JH)
