Panel Three: Critical Race Theory in K-12 Public Schools Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

The 2022 Missouri Chapters Conference took place on January 24, 2022, at the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City, MO. The topic of the conference was "Freedom of Thought".
Public K-12 schools across the country have introduced elements of critical race theory into their curriculums. The Biden Administration has produced a federal rule that would prioritize funding for history and civics programs shaped by CRT. Meanwhile, lawmakers in 16 states have introduced or passed legislation seeking to limit the teaching of critical race theory within public institutions. And parents across the country have pushed back against school boards adopting CRT and filed litigation to that effect. What is critical race theory? And are states and localities within their rights in designing and limiting curricula and what can and cannot be taught in public schools, or do laws that do so potentially violate First Amendment rights or other applicable law?

Some social media companies are inviting the government to impose new content moderation and censorship requirements. Others say that in a free market system, consumers should be able to choose social media networks based on those networks’ content moderation policies. Still others suggest that Big Tech could be regulated as a common carrier, barring large platforms from discriminating against messages based on their content. Which is the best approach?
