Several state laws banning public schools from teaching critical race theory went into effect Friday.
Critical race theory is an academic framework that claims that the culture and institutions of the United States are systemically racist and oppressive to racial minorities. To combat this systemic racism, critical race theory calls for"anti-racism" to dismantle the social standards and practices that have perpetuated white privilege.
The statute not only bars critical race theory from public schools, but also prohibits workplaces from requiring employees to undergo certain types of racial sensitivity training. The law also says that universities"may not direct or compel a student to personally affirm, adopt, or adhere to divisive concepts" and"may not require their students or employees to attend or participate in any training or orientation that teaches, advocates, acts upon, or promotes divisive concepts."
