Professor Bill Jacobson: Unpacking Critical Race Theory in Schools

When you shame a white child, you are also shaming a black child, because you're teaching all the children that they are really nothing more than the color of their skin, and that's the worst possible message we can give to children.
Have you ever wondered how Critical Race Theory (CRT) is shaping our schools and the minds of young students? In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', the hosts sit down with Professor Bill Jacobson, a conservative blogger and clinical professor of law at Cornell Law School, to discuss this hot-button issue. Jacobson dives into the origins of CRT, explaining how it began in law schools as a way to examine racial biases within legal structures.
Now, it's a broader doctrine that views society through a racial lens, which Jacobson argues is detrimental to children and education. The conversation covers a lot of ground, from the theory's academic roots to its controversial expansion into general education. Jacobson shares his concerns about CRT teaching children to see the world solely through race, which he believes can lead to division and misunderstanding.
He also introduces his criticalrace.org database, a resource for parents to identify colleges that teach CRT, helping them make informed decisions about their children's education. The hosts and Jacobson don't shy away from discussing the lack of viewpoint diversity in academia and the intolerance towards opposing opinions. They highlight the pushback from parents and various groups who are challenging the incorporation of CRT in schools.
This episode isn't just about theories; it's about real-world implications and the actions people are taking to address them. By the end of the episode, listeners will have a clearer understanding of what CRT is, why it's controversial, and how it's affecting educational institutions and students. Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply curious about this ongoing debate, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
