Bills Banning Critical Race Theory Advance in States Despite Its Absence in Many Classrooms
Dozens of Republican-backed bills banning the teaching of divisive topics on race and inequality are piling up in Congress and in statehouses across the country, even as a new survey of high school students shows that many never learn about such issues in classrooms anyway.
Just over half, or 56%, of students surveyed reported that they had opportunities to discuss race and racism "sometimes or a great deal" at school, according to the report from the nonpartisan America's Promise Alliance, an education organization that partnered with its research arm, the Boston University-affiliated Center for Promise, GradNation, an organization that advocates for higher graduation rates, and others. Only about 3 in 5 students reported that their school curriculum represented non-white communities "sometimes or a great deal."
And the extent of those experiences varied widely. Black students reported a small, but statistically significant higher rate of opportunities to discuss race and racism compared to white students. In addition, fewer students of color reported that their curriculum represented their own specific racial and ethnic backgrounds compared to white students.
The report concluded that "while police violence, protests, and calls for racial justice have occupied the public discourse in communities across the country, many students continue to lack access to opportunities to discuss race and racism within their classrooms."
