Day 4: Legislative Backlash to Critical Race Theory

Because the definition of Critical Race Theory remains unclear, it has evolved into a polarizing topic leading some people reluctant to acknowledge the systemic racism that persists today.

This theory does not state that racism is the fault of any individual or groups of people. Instead, it implies U.S. social institutions were created with racism embedded in policies and procedures that lead to differential outcomes by race.

There is still a lot of fear that surrounds CRT, most notably the assumption that it accuses all white people of being oppressors while labeling all Black people as the oppressed. These fears have triggered school boards and state legislatures across the country to ban teachings about racism in classrooms. However, these narratives exaggerate the theoretical framework, puzzling many academics and scholars.

Transparency, honesty, and accuracy is vital to education and democracy, even when it reveals painful histories and stories. Continuing that education will become more difficult in classrooms as states continue to pass bills banning CRT. Barred from talking freely about the impact of systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia has left many educators with the choice of either teaching an inaccurate depiction of American history or potentially facing legal consequences that could impact their careers.
