Critical Race Theory is Back in the News

Lawsuits are proliferating, including one alleging institutional antisemitism at Stanford University.

Lawsuits in Virginia, California, and Nevada allege that courses, programs, and policies steeped in Critical Race Theory (CRT) are leading to unconstitutional discrimination and the abrogation of free speech rights.

Meanwhile, several states are attempting to pass laws to ban CRT in schools. In response, a diverse slate of thinkers recently co-authored an opinion editorial in the New York Times offering a non-ideological argument for allowing CRT to be taught. A few days earlier, I offered my own argument in Psychology Today. (You can read that article here.)
