De-sensationalizing Critical Race Theory
In “De-sensationalizing Critical Race Theory,” Giselle Garcia ’23, Legal Fellow for the Aoki Center for Race & Nation Studies writes about the recent attacks on Critical Race Theory:
“Critical Race Theory has been the subject of sensationalism aimed to discredit its value as a framework for legal and sociopolitical analysis. Politicians and social commentators have weaponized CRT to discredit critiques of social institutions and their role in perpetuating racism and inequality. These critics intentionally misrepresent CRT as an anti-democratic, anti-white project. But CRT is not a threat to white people or democracy; it is a threat to oppressive power structures and ideologies. And at its core, is redemptive since it seeks to repair the flaws in our legal and social institutions and create an expansive vision of justice.”
