The War on Critical Race Theory

In "Critical Race Theory," renowned scholar David Theo Goldberg examines the fervent backlash against this once-obscure legal theory, revealing the forces and funding behind the attacks that impact public schooling, elections, and community dynamics. He critiques the demonization of Critical Race Theory by highlighting the persistent presence of structural racism, while a conservative push for colorblindness continues to hinder meaningful dialogue. Goldberg argues that these politically charged assaults ultimately serve to revive and protect white minority rule, impeding efforts to combat racism effectively.
