Unfortunately, in practice, "anti-bias" to one position is almost always bias toward another.

Anti bias education

As far as I am concerned it looks like yet more Politically Correct pontification.

Example

Why teachers do anti-bias education Anti-bias work is essentially optimistic work about the future for our children. Anti-bias teachers are committed to the principle that every child deserves to develop to his or her fullest potential. Anti-bias work provides teachers a way to examine and transform their understanding of children’s lives and also do self-reflective work to more deeply understand their own lives.

Sounds like common sense to me.

I think it might be an education that concentrates on how to accept differences etc as bias mean prejudice, but that's just my guess. You might want to wait for a native speaker's answer.
