Poetry and Bias in the Primary School.
Blackledge, Adrian
Educational Review, v46 n1 p39-45 1994
Poetry to be used with primary school children should be selected by the same criteria as other literature, so it neither promotes bias nor omits reference to diversity. Poems should be selected for their intrinsic quality and their potential as a resource in the curriculum for equality. (Author/SK)
