Censorship? Indoctrination? Erasure? Critical Race Theory in Teaching and Teacher Education

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Amidst civil rights removals from public schools throughout the country and other actions associated with the pervasive and systematic mischaracterization of CRT, in this Division K Vice Presidential session, Critical Race Theory Scholars critically trouble the ensuing politics of censorship and erasure. From a variety of perspectives, panelists will explore this decades-old academic theory, and trouble its positioning as scapegoat for banning anti-racist efforts aimed to foster equity and justice.
