School District families debate critical race theory
By Tori Mason
CENTENNIAL, Colorado (KCNC) The Cherry Creek School District is looking for a different approach to teaching history, but some families aren’t on board with proposed changes. At the end of the school year, the CCSD announced their commitment to making lessons more racially and culturally inclusive. Dozens of people debated Critical Race Theory at their board meeting Wednesday evening.
Critical Race Theory is an academic concept that’s causing a stir in education systems nationwide. Critical Race Theory is an academic concept with the core idea that racism is a social construct that’s embedded in social, legal and political systems, Education Week reports. Proponents of critical race theory say that its teachings show how race is implemented into history and that it does not teach that any race is inherently racist. Critics say the theory is divisive and discriminatory.
