Resolution on the Need for Diverse Children's and Young Adult Books. Position Statement
National Council of Teachers of English
Now is the time for National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) to advocate for increased publication of culturally diverse literature that reflects human, cultural, linguistic, and family diversity. This proposed resolution emphasizes the publication and production of literature to intentionally reflect human diversity. The NCTE resolved to: (1) advocate for more children's and young adult books from publishers and booksellers that reflect the culturally diverse lives and experiences present in the United States; and (2) highlight and support authors, illustrators, publishers, and booksellers whose work represents multiple perspectives and cultural diversity in the lives of all children. [This position statement was approved November 2014 and ratified February 2015.]
