Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Education Committee of the Education Law Association, we are pleased to invite you to attend Thursday’s webinar, “Let’s Get Critical—Critical Race Theory Bans in K-12 Schools.” This free event will occur on Thursday, November 9, 2023, at 12:45 PM Eastern—registration required.
Please also see below to learn how to present at the 2024 annual conference. We will explore the theme of race and education in light of the 70th anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education, that sought to desegregate public schools.
We look forward to learning with and from you as we continue to enrich the teaching, learning, researching, and practicing of education law.
Sincerely,
Regina, Tiffany, and Kevin

The Education Law Association’s Education Committee is proud to present a panel discussion on the current wave of Critical Race Theory (CRT) bans in K-12 schools, both proposed and enacted. The panelists will discuss the status of legislation in different states by providing a descriptive overview of these bills that limit how educators can address topics related to race within the classroom, a review of motivating factors behind this movement, and a consideration of both potential and actual impacts in schools. Participants will be able to describe the current status of proposed and enacted legislation regarding CRT bans, identify the social and political motivating forces behind CRT bans, and understand the potential and actual impacts of CRT bans in schools.
