Created as a follow-up to a suggestion on the Critical Race Theory talk page

This article was created as a follow-up to GorillaWarfare's June 22, 2021 suggestion on the Critical Race Theory talk page. It is to be expected that this article might become controversial. Hopefully, contentious issues can be settled on this talk page. The most convincing arguments are well-crafted sentences in neutral language with solid inline citations for each claim. We can cite opinions as stated by reliable sources but not our own personal views. If you wish to contribute by suggesting reliable sources for consideration, using this template is helpful.Oceanflynn (talk) 20:40, 9 May 2022 (UTC) Ex. ^[1][reply]

Wikipedia protocols and welcoming newcomers

There are so many protocols that everyone usually makes errors as they begin to edit. Let's help out new users by avoiding the shortcuts, and explaining protocols in plain English. Wikipedia editors usually avoid blogs and "Opinion" pieces. The most reliable sources are often well-chosen academic journal articles and publishing and media outlets known for fact-checking.Oceanflynn (talk) 20:57, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reference style

This article uses the same reference styles as the critical race theory article. There are a number of references that might be useful in both articles. However all reference styles work ^[1]

New source

A new scholarly book edited by Edward Taylor, David Gillborn, and Gloria Ladson-Billings covers issues of CRT in education, with chapters that touch on the recent controversies in primary education: Taylor, Edward; Gillborn, David; Ladson-Billings, Gloria, eds. (2023). Foundations of Critical Race Theory in Education (Third ed.). New York, NY: Routledge. doi:10.4324/b23210. ISBN 9781003342854. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:02, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Large copy–paste from CRT article

I moved a large amount of material here from Critical race theory § Public controversies to avoid overwhelming that article with too much detail and especially a bias toward recent events. Some tidying up may be needed to fix any redundancies. Thanks. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 06:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add Information

There are notable equity gaps in this article that can possibly underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations especially when discussing who is harmed by critical race theory. Sk8trgrl (talk) 23:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
