Prior to passing legislation in 2010, Minnesota’s early childhood educators reported they were able to support a child while choking, but were unable to resuscitate them once the object was removed (Mangimeli, 2024). These incidents triggered the immediate response to require CPR training in early childhood programs by law. Recent studies have shown that since 2016, racial discrimination of young children has increased nationally (Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, 2022). However, in Minnesota, training requirements for licensed child care providers since 2016 have yet to require anti-bias or anti-racism training. Society collectively responds to immediate dangers (like choking) versus systemic issues (like racism) and yet both demand proactive attention. Early childhood has the prevention blueprint to follow.
