I can see why -
Making things more complicated, many states currently ban teaching “certain topics” related to race. These bans often specifically forbid teaching “critical race theory” but without defining what it is. And since 2022, when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed what he called the “Individual Freedom” measure banning educators from teaching about race; at least 17 states have followed Florida’s lead.
Critical race theory (CRT), however, does have a definition. In simple terms, it is an academic field of inquiry used in universities and law schools, which examines how racism can become systemic and how it can be perpetuated by institutions, laws and regulations.
