Report on Sex Bias in the Public Schools. Third Edition.
National Organization for Women, New York, NY. New York City Chapter.
Sex bias in the public schools is reported in three major areas: administration, curriculum, and attitudes. Letters, newspaper and magazine articles, court transcripts, and congressional testimony are utilized to present an overview of the status of sex discrimination in public schools and a review of recent changes in educational policy and legislation. Administrative problems described include court cases related to sex segregated high school classes, maternity leave regulations and court litigation, and correspondence pleading for action to end sex bias in New York public schools. Areas of curriculum which are investigated for sex bias are vocational and technical education, athletic activities, educational television, career counseling, sex education, and textbook and toy bias. A list of resources in the area of curriculum bias is suggested. A section of materials on attitudes includes a chauvinistic index for educators, methods of consciousness-raising for the public school teacher, a case history of teaching in a prejudiced system, an outline for achieving equality of education, and a summary of existing federal laws, and regulations concerning sex discrimination in educational institutions.
