Critical Race Theory in Education

I keep coming across the argument that CRT isn't being taught in schools because CRT is this narrow branch of legal studies which is only taught in higher education. This is clearly false. It is true that the field started out as a critique of our system of law but it has since expanded its influence to many other areas, one of which is education. As evidence of this, I present the following academic books and articles. The focus of these works varies from critique of our education system, use of CRT in teacher education/training and inclusion of CRT in curriculum. This is by no means a complete list, but is only what I compiled in about two hours of research.

Academic Articles

Critical Race Theory and Education: History, Theory, and Implications - William F. Tate, 1997 (sagepub.com) 1997

In this essay, I examine the linkages between an emerging theoretical framework in the law-critical race theory-and its relation and application to the concepts of race, racism, and racial stereotyping in teacher education.

Critical race theory (CRT) challenges the dominant discourse on race and racism as it relates to education by examining how educational theory and practice are used to subordinate certain racial and ethnic groups.

This article extends our ongoing national discourse about the use of a growing body of scholarship in the field of education, critical race theory (CRT).

In this article, the authors use critical race theory (CRT), Paulo Freire’s problem-posing method, and case study research to introduce an alternative instructional and pedagogical methodology in teacher education...These experiences are critical to learning why they should and how they can talk about race and racism.

In this article, the author uses critical race theory (CRT) and Latina/Latino critical theory (LatCrit) to demonstrate how critical raced-gendered epistemologies recognize students of color as holders and creators of knowledge... She then offers implications of critical raced-gendered epistemologies for both research and practice and concludes by discussing some of the critiques of the use of these epistemologies in educational research.

Although Critical Race Theory (CRT) originated in the legal arena, its influence has proliferated throughout the social sciences literature

The National School Boards Association (NSBA) respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation.   There are already state criminal laws and agencies which deal with threats of violence.  Local school board members want to he

Timeline of Atlanta "Stop Cop City" Protest and Leftist Destruction

Though the Atlanta public safety training facility is at the center of the protest in the south river forest, there are actually four closely located properties involved:  1) The public safety training center site: 561 Key Road 300 acres of forested land located in southwestern DeKalb County but owned by the city of Atlanta. Former site of a prison farm. Currently hosts some police training activities, including a firing range. Leased in Sept. 2021 to the Atlanta Police Foundation, which plans to build a $90 million public safety training center across roughly 85 acres. 2) The land swap property: 3251 West Side Place 40 forested acres on the northwest corner of Constitution Road and West Side Place. Longtime home for Intrenchment Creek Park’s South River Trailhead. Obtained by Blackhall Real Estate Phase II LLC and Ryan Millsap, the founder of Blackhall Studios, in a 2021 land swap with DeKalb County. County received three parcels further north that it plans to use to create a more con
