Racist acts on school campuses are rising fast. Incidents of hate crimes and physical attacks with a weapon nearly doubled between the 2015-16 and 2017-18 school years. In the 2017-18 school year, schools reported nearly 6,000 hate crimes, according to the US Government Accountability Office. These are criminal acts, not what some people refer to as racial micro-aggressions, which by many accounts occur with great regularity in some schools. In this episode, a politically diverse group of guests discuss two provocative questions: 1) What can educators do to prevent racism? and 2) What should they do when it happens? Controversy arises because they touch on hot-button issues like Critical Race Theory (i.e., teaching about systemic racism, which has been banned in many states) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs that have come under fire recently because, according to some, they promote racism rather than reduce it. A conservative parent rights advocate, a high school student committed to educational equity, a progressive university educator, and the leader of young republicans in Texas share their own experiences with racism before taking up the controversial questions about how to prevent and respond to it.
