The Child Development Department at Palomar College supports our BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) students and colleagues and stands in solidarity with contemporary movements in raising awareness of widespread systemic racism and discrimination, as well as the Call to Action for Palomar College. As faculty and staff in the CHDV Department, we commit to continuing to work on addressing the needs of our students and community by maintaining individual and collective work towards the goal of antiracism. We prioritize the values of combating systemic racism and preventing marginalization and oppression, while reflecting and taking action on working towards a more just future for all children. By committing to embedding antiracist practices into our coursework, we commit to improving the education of future early childhood educators and ensure that our programs support the excellence of our BIPOC students.
