Critical Race Theory in Kentucky: What is it and why is it the "Bogeyman" in the classroom?
Panel discussion with moderator Dr. Andrew Rosa, Associate Professor, History, WKU; Dr. Jeffrey Budziak, Assistant Dean, Political Science; Dr. Sophia Arjana, Associate Professor, History and Dr. Amy Cappiccie, Professor, Social Work. Panelists will introduce and discuss Critical Race Theory and why the flurry of bills, resolutions, and other legislative actions have sparked debates over the role of teaching race in America. Panelists will reflect on whether the "problem" of Critical Race Theory truly exists in the classroom and the origins of these political movements to control school curriculum.
