Perhaps Critical Race Theory Should be Part of a Larger Class Course

   Tennessee bans the teaching of critical race theory. Idaho governor signs bill banning the teaching of critical race theory. Oklahoma enacts law preventing the teaching of critical race theory. So stack up the headlines in just the past two days.

   All of which makes us wonder what critical race theory is. It is the study of how laws intersect with racial issues.

   Perhaps, rather than being banned -- which might threaten free speech as some laws are crafted so discussion of race might be entirely erased from taking place at schools -- the topic should be expanded and called Race Relations in the United States.
