Flyer, William & Mary's center for racial & social justice present: the attack on critical race theory in education, interactive panel discussion

In recent months there has been a lot of discussion surrounding Critical Race Theory and its place in America's classrooms. In some states, governing school boards have stepped in and banned "CRT" from being taught. But why? At a time when including Critical Race Theory in school curriculums is so contested, this interactive panel will discuss what exactly "CRT" is, how it fits in the classroom, and attempt to identify future trends as well as where recent arguments have come from.
