Critical race theory is a heated topic for schools nationwide, and Mesa County is no exception as District 51 officials and some parents grapple over whether âCRTâ is being taught in local schools, what can be done about it and, in some cases, what even constitutes critical race theory.
For months, Board of Education meetings have featured public comments from a handful of adults concerned that the theory â generally considered to be advanced, college-level material not seen in K-12 education â is being taught to their children.
The latest sticking point has been District 51âs opening of a new administrative position â director of equity and inclusion. This has left district officials, who say the position has nothing to do with critical race theory, and parents, who view it as a dog whistle for the theory and its arguments, at an impasse.
