Kentucky Museum hosting “Critical Race Theory in Kentucky: What is it and why is it the ‘Bogeyman’ in the classroom?”

Join us Thursday, November 14th  from 5-6PM for a conversation with moderator Dr. Andrew Rosa, Associate Professor, History, WKU; Dr. Jeffrey Budziak, Assistant Dean, Political Science; Dr. Sophia Arjana, Associate Professor, History and Dr. Amy Cappiccie, Professor, Social Work.

Panelists will introduce and discuss Critical Race Theory and why the flurry of bills, resolutions, and other legislative actions have sparked debates over the role of teaching race in America. Panelists will reflect on whether the "problem" of Critical Race Theory truly exists in the classroom and the origins of these political movements to control school curriculum.

This is the ninth America 250 program hosted by the Museum wku.edu/kentuckymuseum/america250.php

There will be a WKU Activity Engagement QR code at the event for students to scan for proof of attendance.

Sponsored by the Kentucky African American Heritage Commission.
