#RaceClass Ep. 33:Even a Trump Judge Agrees that Anti-CRT Laws Dont Ban CRT
A federal judge recently upheld most of Oklahomas HB 1775, a law that many thought banned Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the state. This might sound like a win for proponents of discriminatory censorship. Its not. The ruling delivered an ironic twist: Judge Charles Goodwin" a Trump appointee" clarified that HB 1775 permits teaching about race, racism, and related concepts like implicit bias or institutional racism. Judge Goodwin's analysis exposes a significant gap between the law's scope and the partisan rhetoric and public understanding surrounding it. Albeit limited to Oklahoma, the ruling implicates similar "anti-CRT" laws across the country, challenging the narrative that laws like Florida's Stop WOKE Act prohibit meaningful conversations about racism in school. As stakeholders fight back and courts continue to weigh in, this decision could signal a major shift in the fight against discriminatory censorship in American classrooms.
