From a founder — What Critical Race Theory means

Dear Ohio - Politics, Issues, and People

Local school board meetings have been besieged by parents and others who claim children are being exposed to Critical Race Theory concepts in the classroom.

In this episode, Curtis Jackson takes a look at how conservative political candidates in Ohio and elsewhere are hosting town halls on the subject and lawmakers are introducing bills aimed at CRT. Curtis speaks with Gerald Torres, professor of law at Yale law School and a founder of CRT, and takes an in-depth look at Critical Race Theory from an academic view and the challenges of the issue in a polarized political environment.
