New Post: Racelighting in Utah education: counterstories across contexts - https://lnkd.in/g4Q_Wwfb - The authors of this article– five anti-racist educators working in various educational settings in SLC– employ the Critical Race Theory counter-story methodology (Delgado and Stefancic, 1993) to confront resistance to educational equity in Utah.

We are in a pivotal moment in our fight for a just, multi-racial democracy. We are seeing an attack on the very idea of free public education itself, manifesting in the forms of racist & homophobic book bans, and controlled curriculums that root out Black history, Indigenous and African American studies. The attacks on public education today are a continuation of the backlash against the Civil Rights Movement, and our job is to see that its gains are not undone.
