Episode 5 - Curriculum, Federal Government, and The 1619 Project
Description
The project, authored by Nikole Hannah Jones, and the new curriculum use what is called critical race theory to analyze history and explain why the present is the way that it is. There a myriad of Critical theories: Critical Marxist theory, Critical Gender theory, and settler colonial theory are just few and each are simply acknowledging that the present is not made up rational individual choice, but that there structures and patterns at play that cause the world, and in the case of the 1619 project, this nation, to be that way that it is. Now you may disagree with a particular critical theory but the idea that there are patterns and structures at play that cause humans to act in a subconscious way doesn’t need to be controversial.
