What is Critical Race Theory and what do advocates for inclusive education need to know about the Anti-CRT movement?
For this super-sized episode, we share the story of an inclusive Maryland principal who was pushed out of taking a job as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Director in Cherokee County, Georgia. A devastating side-effect of the backlash against CRT is the damage that has been done to educational equity initiatives. These initiatives are the very ones that inclusive education advocates have been trying to connect the dots from disability rights to equity for all students. 
We interview four individuals with experience and expertise in CRT:

King Williams, a filmmaker, and journalist in Atlanta, GA
Alida Miranda-Wolff, a professional in the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging sector in Chicago, IL
Eddie Fergus, a professor at Temple University
Pete Newlove, a doctoral student at the University of Colorado and current high school English teacher
