Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a movement examining race and law, challenging mainstream approaches to racial justice. It emphasizes institutional racism, the impact of race on people's experiences, and seeks to create a more just society. CRT has sparked debate, with some criticizing it as divisive and anti-American, while proponents value its role in addressing racism. The understanding of CRT is limited, leading to misconceptions and political agendas. Right-wing conservative groups have campaigned against CRT in schools, reflecting the growing polarization in American politics.
