I always appreciate the way Erin Jones explains such nuanced topics. One that I also want to echo is her discussion of Critical Race Theory (CRT) not being taught in schools. Prior to 2020, I was teaching Culturally Responsive Teaching (aka, CRT) to future educators in university classes. After that year, I began each term with a disclaimer that most schools are *not* teaching Critical Race Theory, and we would call our work CRP (Practices) to minimize the comparison. The misrepresentation of DEI work in these ways is incredibly harmful and we must do better. Thank you both for sharing this conversation.
