The Critical Race Theory

Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic framework that examines how laws and societal structures can perpetuate racial inequalities. It suggests that racism isn’t just about individual bias but is embedded in legal systems and institutions, influencing opportunities and social outcomes for different racial groups. CRT encourages analyzing power dynamics and historical context to understand and address systemic discrimination, aiming to promote fairness and justice. It’s primarily used in legal, social sciences, and education fields to better understand the persistence of racial disparities and to develop strategies for equity.
