Critical Race Theory, Part III: Should CRT be taught in our schools?

In this episode, PPFA asks a question his lawyers begged it not to answer: should Critical Race Theory be in taught in our schools?

I then discuss how distance learning allowed teachers new insights into teachers' lessons, including on racial discrimination (7:30).
