Summary

It’s basically impossible to open your news app without seeing a headline about Critical Race Theory, but what is it? Could you explain it to a friend if they asked you for guidance? Could you give examples of how the laws in our country affect different groups of people based on the color of their skin? This episode will give you the tools and confidence you need to have these crucial conversations with the people you love.

In this episode you will learn:

the basics of Critical Race Theory
how “neutral” laws have a racial impact
how to respond when someone is against CRT
common myths about CRT
how you can support teachers & get involved in your local school district

I’ve heard from hundreds of you that the people in your life are skeptical about what it might look like to teach children to use their critical thinking skills to examine race. Let’s work together to move closer to our values of inclusion, equity, and justice.

0:23.6	to empower you with the confidence you need to be a leader in your family and a changemaker in your

0:59.5	season three of first name basis. Can you believe that? I can't believe that we are almost to season
