Overview

Content analysis reveals how anti-CRT legislation impacts teacher agency in social studies, indicating significant framing effects.

Key Points

  • Anti-CRT laws have led to reduced teacher engagement with race-related topics in classrooms, limiting discussions.
  • Explicit restrictions in anti-CRT laws tend to allow more teacher agency compared to implicit restrictions.
  • Qualitative content analysis of anti-CRT legislation from 18 states highlights variances in language use impacting teaching.
  • Understanding the framing of anti-CRT laws can mitigate confusion and enhance social studies instruction on controversial issues.
