Cruz quizzes Jackson on critical race theory at confirmation hearing

During Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, quizzed her on critical race theory, an academic theory of racism’s systemic impact that has been assailed by conservatives.

Teachers' groups and schools tend to argue that CRT is not often taught below the university level.

Jackson — who, if confirmed, would become the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court — said she had “never studied critical race theory” and “never used it.”

“It doesn't come up in my work as a judge,” she said, adding that it was her understanding that it was taught in law schools.
