Far-right white people are in a moral panic over Critical Race Theory (CRT) because they fear losing political power. These are the sentiments taught to Pennsylvania educators about parents who attend board meetings in opposition to CRT. The training was a webinar presented by Justice Leaders Collaborative, a Michigan-based social justice training organization that did not respond to a request to participate in this story.

Justice Leaders Collaborative gave a politically charged CRT webinar for Pennsylvania educators in the fall of 2021. A video of that webinar offers a window into how the movement sees those who don’t support CRT in schools.
