Ep.89 - *Actual* Critical Race Theory w/ Yvette Butler!

Law Professor Yvette Butler and the Never-Ending CRT Panic! - AOTA Episode 89

The way folks are out here talking about “CRT,” you’d think it was the actual, literal devil. Well, we found one of the most unique individuals in all of American education to talk to us about the real Critical Race Theory. We’re joined by the one person teaching a law school course on CRT in the state of Mississippi–professor Yvette Butler of the University of Mississippi School of Law! We discuss the realities of teaching CRT, its implications for our K-12 education system, her state’s latest attempts to ban it, and how we should collectively respond to these disingenuous attacks on one of the most important legal theories of the last half century. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including the move to digital hall passes and a controversial partnership between Airbnb and the NEA to encourage members to rent out their homes to supplement their income. Yeah, that happened.
