A Word: The Case for Critical Race Theory
For decades, critical race theory was something discussed almost exclusively by scholars and academics. That was before conservatives turned it into a political football, even though most couldn\u2019t define it properly. On today\u2019s episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by UCLA Law Professor LaToya Baldwin Clark, a leader of CRT Forward. That\u2019s a project that tracks attacks on CRT, and works to reframe the public policy discussion around it. She and her colleagues say CRT\xa0could play a vital role in preparing American students to live cooperatively in our increasingly diverse nation.\n\nGuest: UCLA Law Professor LaToya Baldwin Clark\nPodcast production by Yanii Evans\nYou can skip all the ads in A Word by joining Slate Plus.
