Summary
Nutrition label
73% Informative
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed a bill that would ban public K-12 schools from teaching critical race theory (CRT) to students.
CRT is a legal academic discipline that began in the 1980s.
The far right has co-opted the term CRT, weaponizing it as a boogeyman in the latest culture war pushed by Republicans.
