| Abstract: |
Educational policy and legislation are often unquestionably heralded as the most optimal means to attaining racial equity within education. This study utilizes Afro-pessimism and The Afterlife of Slavery as theoretical frameworks to critically examine the reactionary discourse surrounding the recent attacks and bans on Critical Race Theory (CRT) within K-12 education. This paper attempts to theorize what we might learn from the public reactions about the CRT bans and how public discourse serves to further legitimize the political arena.
