Overview

Critical policy discourse analysis reveals how anti-CRT policies shape racial discourse in education, suggesting implications for public institutions.

Key Points

  • Anti-CRT policies construct false equivalencies between white discomfort and racial oppression, distorting public discourse.
  • The analysis of 22 policy documents highlights how discursive maneuvers obscure systemic inequities, hindering racial justice efforts.
  • This research employs critical policy discourse analysis, illustrating how language can perpetuate racial hierarchies in educational settings.
  • Findings indicate that these tactics extend beyond K-12 education, influencing rhetoric in higher education and public institutions.
