The Attack on "Critical Race Theory": What's Going on?

Register to join on July 27, 2021 @ 8:30 pm ET


Lately, a lot of people have been very upset about “critical race theory.” Back in September 2020, the former president directed federal agencies to cut funding for training programs that refer to “white privilege” or “critical race theory, declaring such programs “un-American propaganda” and “a sickness that cannot be allowed to continue.” In the last few months, at least eight states have passed legislation banning the teaching of CRT in schools and some 20 more have similar bills in the pipeline or plans to introduce them. What’s going on?

Join us for a conversation that situates the current battle about “critical race theory” in the context of a much longer war over the relationship between our racial present and racial past, and the role of culture, institutions, laws, policies and “systems” in shaping both. As members of families and communities, as adults in the lives of the children who will have to live with the consequences of these struggles, how do we understand what's at stake and how we can usefully weigh in? Please bring your comments, questions, and experiences!

I think people are essentially conflating critical race theory will all critical conversations about history, race, and racism. I posted a video about that conflation and why critical discussions about racism are so important to healing trauma. I've enclosed it here for easier reference and sharing: https://youtu.be/ZwEWqT9XCyM
