What Critical Race Theory Is & How It Made Its Way To Florida Bottom Line: The good news, based on what I’m continuing to see and hear, is that people have had their eyes opened to the threat of Critical Race Theory in our education system. This was recently evidenced in part, by the backlash of parents in Palm Beach and Duval Counties at the introduction of tenants of CRT into the school districts mission statements. And that leads to the bad news. Most are still trying to figure out what exactly it is at a time it’s already infiltrating classrooms. In a story I brought you September 30th last year, I broke down the history of CRT and what it’s about. The difference in Florida, in just a little over eight months, is that we’ve gone from no school districts incorporating tenants of CRT – to at least two that are attempting to move in that direction. Thankfully at the state level Governor DeSantis has condemned CRT and has stated he’ll “whack mole’s all over the state” if need to stop it, however the push towards it is pervasive, especially by the education establishment led by the teachers' unions. The need to be informed and engaged is important. This is a refresh on what it is and how we got here.
