critical race theory in education  

Definition

  • Critical race theory (CRT) focuses on a critical examination and analysis of race, law and power. CRT's two main premises include (1) that white supremacy and whiteness as property are foundational to U.S. legal practices and the system itself and (2) that the notion of colorblindness is counterproductive to achieving racial emancipation.
