This talk guides the audience through the fundamental elements of CRT and the guiding constructs that shape its core, namely the permanence of racism, interest convergence, racial realism, the critique of liberalism, whiteness as property, and the power of counter-stories. This topic is approached with the premise that culture is critical to human agency and race is a relevant, salient and undeniable influence upon educational policies and practices. Historical, political and social dominance of white supremacy is also directly discussed to understand the critical role race plays in schools today.
