Olivia Krauth’s article USA Today provides a good overview of every contentious program offered in public schools, programs that some close-minded conservative writers bundle together under the banner of “Critical Race Theory”.  She opens her article with a clear, concise definition of “Critical Race Theory”:

Let’s get one definition out of the way first: Critical race theory is an academic framework that examines if, and how, systems and policies perpetuate racism. 

She then proceeds to offer an alphabetical glossary of programs that some school boards find contentious beginning with “Anti-racism” and ending with “White Privilege”. in doing so, she makes it clear that there is a difference and a distinction between Critical Race Theory and each of these other topics. As noted in previous posts, laundry lists have clear limitations… but in this case this list offers a helpful guide to those wondering what “divisive topics” might include…. which may NOT be helpful to those hoping members of the public are not motivated to file complaints in accordance with recently adopted state laws.
