This year we’ve witnessed an outcry against critical race theory, but what is really fueling this resistance? Luis and I studied critical race theory together. I went on to teach it in undergrad classes and Luis brings it into his current work with K-12 educators. We discuss why critical thought feels threatening and connect it to militarism, Obama’s presidency, and inaccurate assumptions that racism is a problem of our nation’s past. Our conversation addresses two central questions: What is knowledge? Whose voices and perspectives are legitimated?
I encourage you to check out this episode on Crenshaw’s Intersectionality Matters for a deeper discussion of the origins of critical race theory.
