Teaching Race And History In America's Schools
1A - A podcast by NPR
The latest culture war is being fought in the classroom, with several states banning Critical Race Theory. The theory is an academic pursuit examining how race intersects with history. While many may not know the fundamentals of the theory, Republican-led state legislatures now say the decades-old concept is said to be anti-American and sow division. We discuss what Critical Race Theory is and how America's complicated racial history should be taught. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast.
