A Critical Race Theory Analysis of Critical Race Theory Bans
Added 2024-06-17 07:10:03 +0000 UTCOA1042
Several years ago, Christopher Rufo created a bogeyman that rallied the Right across the United States to seek bans in educational environments of "divisive concepts" such as Critical Race Theory. But wouldn't you know it - the CRT bans themselves are just perfect for a CRT analysis, and Caroline Mala Corbin is here to lead us in a classic OA Deep Dive!
Caroline is a law professor at the University of Miami, focusing on the First Amendment's speech and religion clauses, reproductive justice, and the principle of equality that should run through it all. Be sure to check out the full article that was published recently in the UC Irvine Law Review!

By chilling classroom discussions about how racial hierarchies manifest and are maintained, these bans leave unaddressed all the structural issues that critical race theory aims to uncover. It is a perfect vicious circle.

Why do podcasters say moron that later
