The teaching of "Critical Race Theory" has quickly become the new bogeyman talking point of right-wing media outlets. It is being used to restrict the teaching of U.S. history in schools across the country, and is even being used as an excuse to ban books. On this episode Brian & Lornett welcome special guest, author and professor of law at Northwestern University, Dr. Paul Gowder. Dr. Gowder helps us understand the origins of Critical Race Theory as a legal principal, common misconceptions about the term, as well as the civil rights movement's important role in shaping our judicial system.
