I’d bet money that you don’t know as much as you think you know about critical race theory. I was surprised when I went to the original work of the scholars who created it.

In this episode, we clear away the assumptions and we get right at the heart of the matter: What is critical race theory, really? And why is it so controversial?

This is a new, updated version of one of the earliest, most popular episodes.
