Critical Race Studies at UCLA School of Law presents: Mapping Anti-CRT Politics

***This event is being rescheduled.***

Over the past two years, extremist conservatives have created an unwarranted moral panic around Critical Race Theory (CRT). Many of these anti-CRT conservative candidates for office, like Glenn Youngkin, have capitalized on the moral panic around CRT to win their elections.
Recently identified trends from the CRT Forward Tracking Project data demonstrates a broader, more insidious connection between traditionally non-partisan school elections and the pervasiveness of the anti-CRT disinformation campaign. As primaries take place across the country, join panelists in a discussion about the impact of the CRT disinformation campaign on local school board and state elections.

Speakers:
• Taifha Natalee Alexander | CRT Forward Project Director, Critical Race Studies, UCLA School of Law
• Dr. LaToya Baldwin Clark | Assistant Professor, UCLA School of Law
• Cheryl I. Harris | Vice Dean for Community, Equality and Justice, Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Professor in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, UCLA School of Law
