Reframing Critical Race Theory

This week we're discussing a current favorite buzzword by politicians and the media: CRT. Found in headlines on a weekly (daily) basis, the Reframers sit down to define CRT (Critical Race Theory), talk about what it ACTUALLY means, and break down why it might be a flawed debate in the first place. Armed with some good research and a healthy handful of questions, the 3 hosts dive in ready to learn.

Zach acknowledges the elephant in the room: it's nerve-wracking to talk about race for fear of getting it wrong and being branded a racist. 

Erin reminds us that this is a graduate-level theory, and we ponder how a complex idea has become a mainstream topic of debate. 

Kassie points out how big, negative stereotypes about both the left and the right are deeply damaging our perceptions of the "other side" and making it feel impossible to talk to each other. 

We're always striving to make any conversations on the Reframers a model for real-life conversations. We encourage reimagining disagreement, by "reframing" what it means to talk with someone who sees different media than you, grew up with a different background, or has different beliefs.
