Critical Race Theory in Civil and Political Leadership Education

Critical Theory, Critical Legal Studies, and Postmodernism: The Roots of CRT.

Writing about Critical Race Theory has become an obsession of mine.

For example, in my book A Critical Look … Read more

Operant Conditioning and the Purpose of Public Schooling

  This year started with a bang. The nation was treated to yet another circus sideshow which was portrayed as a vote for the new house speaker.

Understanding CRT Research: Creating a Nuanced Perception of Racism in America
