Americans confront racial past in debate over critical race theory

Summary

Nutrition label

73% Informative

The teaching of America ’s racial history is dividing voters as state governments and federal judges weigh in on what is known as critical race theory.

Liberals largely see it as a way of understanding how American racism has shaped public policy.

Conservatives view it as divisive discourse aimed at shaming white Americans for past atrocities.

Public school teachers and civil rights attorneys are responding.

Some Democratic voters see attacks on critical race theory as part of an effort to discredit movements that would promote the interests of minorities in the U.S. Some Democrats fear anti-CRT laws are so unclear that schools become unsure what they can and can’t teach.

The result, unfortunately for our kids and our country, is an impoverished education.
